Head of History and Politics. Bristolian. Regularly found talking to students about Doctor Who and musicals. Very small.

Oh hey... happy Sunday! Since my last post was in May 2022 I thought I'd pop on to say that one inset in my new school and I already feel much more positive about the year ahead! Oh, and I'm Head of History and Politics now!

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

Had a fabulous time at #HAConf22. Feeling very inspired, bursting with ideas and importantly my stock of pens to lend to students has been restored!

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

Cover is all set and just four parent's evening appointments to go. Very excited to be heading to the #HAConf22 tomorrow!

@richkbristol Same. It feels very strange to know my vote actually counted this time.

@SPBeale This is brilliant! Very happy to see that everyone else writes DO NOT USE PROVENANCE in caps like I have to!

@jlhough91_lee @histassoc Thanks John, I think this is the one I remembered which guided my initial thought process but I couldn't remember the number.

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

Looking for any pointers on @histassoc articles which specifically focus on teaching students explicit vocab around the concepts to improve their writing.

We all have to do a mini-research project for by the end of the year and I need lit-review materials #historyteacher

@kate_smee We're currently on our second year teaching thematically. Still trying to iron out some of the problems with sense of period, but it's had a huge impact on our essays and comparison questions.

@JessStaff1 Ooh thanks Jess, I hadn't realised this! Thanks for the tip!

Does anyone have any examples of Question 2 for Conflict and Tension: The First World War? I'm struggling to find sources to practice with because a lot of the #AQA past papers have copyright issues. Thanks! #historyteacher

Also Germany, because they are all copyrighted too...

Three colleagues, THREE, have commented on how tired I look this morning, so that's how my day is going.

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

@Alex_Henderson1 Absolutely, the q3 are the ones mine are struggling with most. Loads of 0s this time round, even though they've attempted the question.

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

AQA-ers! How do you teach the three paper one interpretation questions? I thought I'd finally cracked it, but year 10 mocks suggest otherwise... #HistoryTeacher

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

@Alex_Henderson1 Cheers Alex, that's what I was doing before the mock, maybe just needs a bit more perseverance for it to sink in.

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

Genuine horror about the fact I've already forgotten how to share my screen through Teams 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

Obviously I'd never want to go back to Teams teaching full time, but there is something to be said for getting out of bed at 8:00 and commuting to the dining table #StormEunice

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

@richkbristol Shows how often I watch till the end!

[Laura RT @MsTeeTeaches]

@richkbristol Question is will Ian be on the roof or inside though?
