Reminder: Tolkien hated Disney.

He called them "hopelessly corrupted" and knew they'd ruin any story they touched.

Why? Tolkien's storytelling philosophy was profoundly different… (thread) 🧵

Everything you need in these books to support writing. Read the 3rd installment whilst having my nails done. These aren't books to read though. They are books to use as you are planning to build a cohesive and coherent sentence curriculum.

Oracy is yet another educational fad/distraction that doesn’t work.

Focus on Oracy forces a school to organise itself around a mistaken concept, making it harder to succeed - not impossible, but harder.

We do NOT do Oracy at Michaela.

Writing improves thinking because putting ideas into words helps pupils understand and remember more. Writing things down makes them slow down and think more clearly. It helps them make links between ideas and reflect on what they know.

So, thinking supports good writing and writing helps develop better thinking. The two go hand in hand. We can’t outsource the hard thinking to AI. Learning needs effort but that effort makes us deeper thinkers.

A Level numbers have rocketed so to has the mark load. Attempting to battle that with whole class feedback comments that are numbered and attributed as individual feedback. Combined with SPAG, exam board mark scheme, student reflection and consolidation questions. #historyteacher

Y7 assessments have shifted to A3 to accommodate for shorter and more focused responses. Students have found the format more accessible than a ‘formal assessment’ yet the rigour of multiple choice Q’s and chronology remains. Teacher feedback easily highlighted. #historyteacher

A summary of the Curriculum and Assessment Review recommendations focusing on literary and oracy.

Included in the summary is the DfE response and the related parts of the Ofsted Inspection Framework.

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

Students who regularly experience "sustained cognitive activity"--focused, directed, uninterrupted thinking, reading and writing--during the school day develop better "cognitive endurance" that is, they learn to productively focus on tasks for longer.

[Barbara Bleiman 🎓 Education is Conversation @BarbaraBleiman]

This is such a valuable & important study on Talk for Learning, confirming much that many other studies (e.g. EEF study, Nystrand et al) have shown – that attainment improves for all students who talk as part of the learning regardless of disadvantage. https://t.co/fpEDo0qzxc
