Very excited to fully plan and then deliver these lessons on Language Change to yr12! 🌟🌟🌟

Unpopular opinion: I hate the phrase ‘you don’t live to work, you work to live’ with a passion.

My friends and I are so devastated after the news this week, but my heart breaks for Sarah’s friends and family most of all #SarahEverard

This one means a lot to me and I’m thrilled to have been asked to be a part of this. Incredible work being done here at my old school and in South Africa, a country very close to my heart.

@EngChatUK Be kind! To yourself and to your students. Not that it needs to be said, but value them over covering content or progress and miraculous things can happen. #engchatuk

@milliegooch take a look at this article promoting problem drinking for teachers 🙃 give me strength

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

I’m sorry but 🙄 Stop 👏 Promoting 👏 Alcohol 👏 Dependency 👏 I’m sure it effects many teachers, and it tears lives apart. Reading things like this is also triggering for those who have struggled. #sober #SoberAF #stopthemadness

Stephen Petty has come up with a wine-based rewards system based on the stress of the day. You're welcome

Comfort is good! Being comfortable is not lazy or wrong ❤️

Anyone else concerned about how much the gap between more and less able students is widening during remote learning?

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

I LOVE this 💕 might print and stick in my notebook

Someone in the edutwitter world called these bitesize CPD, so I am sticking with this term for my one sheet posters on all things cognitive science, tips for learning and more. Plenty more to come in the series. Here are the first 4, available as pdf's from my shared drive 🤗

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

I’ve been desperate for an iPad for years but especially since I started teaching. I really want a way to annotate text/pdf/pictures or model written responses that isn’t clunky. I saved up and finally bought one today! 😆 Will update on how I find it #edtech #edutwitter

[lindsayjskinner @lindsayjskinner]

Another tip: cold call by asking all pupils to type the answer into their chat and when you call their name, they press enter. Great for engagement.

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

Sometimes I forget whether I’m planning a lesson or just having fun! Looking at how Mary Morstan’s presentation is so closely tied up with narrative voice. Colour coding for ‘action’ ‘own speech’ and ‘Watson’s description’. #teamenglish #lessonplanning #sherlockholmes #education

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

Will be writing it out in real time in the lesson though! Might look a little different but I like to prepare 👩‍🏫

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

Planning some modelling inspired by @FunkyPedagogy’s CPD on Approaches to Texts. Showing one weak example and one strong example of embedding quotations into paragraphs 🤩 #teamenglish #edutwitter #metacognition #modelling #quotations #edtech

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

@FunkyPedagogy Hi Jennifer! I have a quick question. I want to introduce the idea of a ‘juicy quotation’ to my year tens - How might I explain what it means (apart from that it involves squeezing a lot of out it)? 🍊

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

I really didn’t envision this being a problem!

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

Trying to build up the number of people I follow on #edutwitter but I have a rule that I unfollow anyone who posts about food being ‘bad’ or ‘naughty’ and/or dieting... so it’s proving difficult

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

@EDmerger Thank you so much! 🌷

[Jenni Green @MsTomesGreen]

On 11th February 2020 I had the (extremely dramatic) realisation that I wanted to be an English teacher and sent this email to a family friend (a retired teacher). I think about that moment all the time! #teaching #education #teachingisthebest
