Quotation pairing/matching resource is finished for Macbeth and A Christmas Carol - there are quotation pair ups but also quotations that fit into motifs/themes for both texts. I have printed mine for Y11 in small, A5 booklets. Hope they help someone!

English teachers of Twitter/X: How do you teach imaginative writing?

We currently follow the drop, shift, zoom in, zoom out/ drop, zoom-in, shift, zoom out method. We also use gold sentences to help craft beautiful sentences.

What works for you? I’d love to know.

Thank you.

I’ve planned a short scheme of work for An Inspector Calls if anyone wants a copy…

Our trust has begun teaching the Literature texts in year 10 and building on the analysis and essay skills in year 11, meaning we’ve had to condense it down. It’s worked fab with my group 😊

and though focused on 'Worlds and Lives' it could very easily be adapted for use with the other clusters, 'Power and Conflict' and 'Love and Relationships.' Here's the link to the download: https://t.co/WBqsfoXcIw

Started today with our 'Pre-Reading', 'Prepping' of the text and Question 1. Really keen to explain the WHY to each step and how it can help in the exam 🧠 Question 2 next...⌛

@engteacherabro2 Wonderful news 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[Kieran Rhys @K2SR7]

Today, we widened our margins to document the thought process and built a response on 'Exposure' 🪖 After annotating and evaluating, our 'We Do' was much stronger as a result 🙌

We had our first Story Raid this week and it was BRILLIANT!
They're a Swedish concept where several storytellers arrive at a school together: staff know what’s going to happen, but pupils have no idea. Each storyteller knocks on a classroom door and walks in: “Sorry to disturb you but I’m looking for people to tell a quick story to. Can I tell one to you?” A 10-minute story follows, before the storyteller leaves as suddenly as they came. This is happening all over the school. A ‘storyraid’ is in progress!
You can do them yourself or @Dominicjk and @emilyahennessey can point you in the right direction.

My @tes article on adaptive teaching is still proving popular. My recent conversations with school leaders have indicated a shift away from some of the problematic approaches to differentiation.

‘Differentiation is dead, long live adaptive teaching’

Sometimes you just get one of those days where you feel more like you’re in an episode of Happy Valley than a teacher in a school. I was just telling my husband over dinner the ins &outs of my day and realised he’d not moved his fork from in front of his mouth for a good minute.
