Lethologica is the technical term for forgetting a word. Derived from Greek, 'lethe' means forgetfulness and 'logos' means word. In Greek mythology, Lethe was also a river of the underworld where souls of the dead drank to forget all earthly memories.🍻Good to know huh?!

Always learning! In a meeting with the brilliant @poetrybyheart team, we learned the etymology behind the word stanza - Italian in origin, it means ‘room’. So we literally divide our poetry into rooms. How lovely?! #teachertwitter #teamenglish #poetry #writing #WritingCommunity

I’ve spent today making a ‘key extract’ booklet for ‘A Christmas Carol’, designed for those students who struggle to read the text more than once. Sharing in case it’s useful to others. PDF & editable Word versions included. Help yourselves! @Team_English1 https://t.co/3ErD9KLYzh

Ordering vocabulary like this is called a semantic gradient or word cline. Can you create a word cline - like this temperature one - for the word LIGHT?💡Start in the middle with a word meaning not quite light and not quite dark. Tweet back with your ideas!👏

Looking at Latin and Greek roots really helps unpick the layers of meaning. Fun task here!👇
