@LauraLolder @Team_English1 Love this idea! Looks like it’ll be worth the hard work when it’s completed.

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

Planning an assembly for National Writing Day - any suggestions for inspirational video clips to share on the power of writing? @Team_English1 @Xris32 @shadylady222 @__codexterous

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

@engteacherabro2 Love this idea 😊 ours is more classical Greek myths at the minute, but expanding into other areas is definitely an interesting concept

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

@HoDandHeart This was brilliant - one of my best reads of last year!

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

@Xris32 Loved this book - think it spoke to the gamer geek in me 😅

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

@HeptonMrs That’s beautiful? Your tree or one you encountered on a walk?

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

@Matalan I’ve sent two emails chasing my order which was due to be delivered two weeks ago - still no response. Money has been taken as payment though…

Really useful phrases to use to enhance analysis in English

[Andy @__codexterous]

English…!

Some phrases to teach your students:

— X is typically associated with Y
— When one thinks of X one imagines ….
— This seems almost to capture…

[Matthew Moore @matthewmoor3]

I have been experimenting with I / We / You more this year, and continue to be impressed by it to support developing writing.

[GCSE MACBETH @GCSE_Macbeth]

A very quick and easy thing that always works.

Write up some of the key concepts -- in Inspector Calls it could be Privilege, Empathy, Status, Gender etc -- on the whiteboard and keep them there. Every time a student contributes, elaborately wave at the list and make them 1/

PUBLICATION DAY!! 🎉🥳📙

If you’re looking for a book all about challenge, high expectations, and how to empower learners to achieve by ‘teaching to the top’ in the broadest possible sense, this is the one for you!

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

Something I’ll be using with my classes next week to improve students’ writing - focus on the small details!

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

Another request for this - anything would be useful 🙏

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a) great English teaching related research journals and/or b) journal articles on research into effective intervention strategies for GCSE @Team_English1 @__codexterous @LitdriveUK

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

This is a useful thread of considerations for teaching writing at KS4 this year…

[Clare Rees @ClareRees3]

I marked 500 GCSE Paper 1s this year. It was a genuine joy. Here’s what I learned from the creative writing section @Team_English1:

1.Loved the planning structures (see below for the best). It still encouraged some students to attempt writing an entire novel though….

[Mr SGR @SimonGreen0]

Really great analogy for effective differentiation and scaffolding - keep those expectations high and offer support instead of ‘dumbing down’

[Andy @__codexterous]

📕 POST! 📕

At some point this academic year you'll (probably) hear the word DIFFERENTIATION

Here's how I think about what this means (and doesn't mean), with help from Mario and Luigi
