Really enjoyed talking today about ‘AIC’, & its relevance in modern society/limitations as part of this conference. Here are my slides: https://t.co/cMBq6Lq1Iv The brilliant postscripts resource is by @DrMBoyd, with further inspiration from @SaysMiss/ @garry_trott@Team_English1
As I go through the reports from AQA, I see, yet again, so much reference to planning. This is why myself and @BeckyTeachopia wrote at length about it in #essaysforexcellence and why we wanted an range of example plans for the essays. Planning is transformational to responses.
Have added a couple of new ‘bitesize academic reading’ resources to my Dropbox. These discuss Scrooge and Marley’s characters. Sharing alongside the rest of my academic reading folder. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1 https://t.co/TVfzoUyms1

I’m starting to formalise the academic reading I do with my students in class into lessons. Here’s one I’ve made for the witches in ‘Macbeth’ complete with pre-reading activities and vocabulary clarification. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1 https://t.co/TVfzoUxOCt
