@EGYPTAIR hi, have you got a contact number? I want to delay a return flight from Cairo to Manchester in July and don't know who to speak to for advice? Thanks
You probably already know I'm a big fan of teaching motifs as a way for students to think about texts holistically. There are lots of these in Macbeth and A Christmas Carol BUT not much has been said about 'An Inspector Calls' - 💵📸🥂
So a quick thread 🧵 for @Team_English1
RESOURCE: I’ve been reflecting on @Lukey_B21’s talk at PiXL about students including irrelevant points in their exam responses. Thinking about how to explicitly model the idea that some things they know won’t be needed. Scribbled this rough plan during Luke’s talk and have made it for use this week. Template attached. Best printed in A3. Going to give it a go! @Team_English1@ThePiXLNetwork@shorny_m

Last proper day of half-term tomorrow... and have spent the evening watching trash TV and working out grade spread ready for mock exam series.
(Fine grades by me - only full papers/ full GCSE are from AQA)
I have some thoughts on this below, if you're interested in a little 🧵
Created a quick black-and-white A4 summary on cold calling to support some upcoming coaching conversations. Thanks to @teacherhead and of course @Doug_Lemov for their work on this powerful strategy.

🌟more sentence work🌟 helping students to generate ideas. Last time, the work they produced gave them loads of confidence which was really motivating. This time I want them to think about a place at different times.
Dropbox below 1/3
Credit to @DoWise for the initial idea!
Made my own version as an example for my two teams of Literature teachers and we will do the rest together in co-planning.
Thank you for sharing - it's a great idea!
*NEW* for AQA: 2024 exam date display posters. There are 22 designs covering most set texts, like these 👇 Help yourselves. #teamenglish

Finally finished the next poetry course reader, a 44 page booklet - like a SOW, covering the next 5 poems in a cluster with language skills integrated into the background reading. Available free here: https://t.co/28MMG6vquW
For @Team_English1 ❤️
A worksheet designed to help students vary the structure of their sentences for creative writing https://t.co/6BuJ6jIBc8 All credit to @ChrisYoules, author of Sentence Models for Creative Writing, for the inspiration
Wanted to make homework more challenging and purposeful, so I created critical thinking booklets, which have some fab reading materials for students to critique.
Thanks: @mrsmacteach33@SPryke2@SaysMiss@britishlibrary@TheRSC amongst others!
