@lil_miss_gaynor If you are teaching AQA Power and Conflict, I found @TheEnglishNetw1 's podcasts really useful :)

I had an awful nightmare last night that I had a new pupil in my class who didn't know the answer to anything, wouldn't let anyone else speak and kept making racist and ignorant comments. Chilling.

@MELTHEHEFF That‘s great to hear 😊

[Melissa Heffer @MELTHEHEFF]

Used @TheEnglishNetw1 podcast in class today whilst modelling annotations with visualizer. Great response from students.

Our second context episode is ready for your enjoyment. This one looks at applying objectification theory to analysis of the characters, their values, and their relationships. #teamenglish https://t.co/8sDmoLM0zb

Great opportunity for @TF_Ambassadors to have your say and share your thoughts on how we can create a #faireducationforall

We’re back! Listen to and enjoy the first episode of our new series on JBP’s “An Inspector Calls.” #teamenglish #aqa #gcse2020 https://t.co/4ZAhhbJfiq

Fascinating read. This has some really important implications for medium and long-term planning for next year. How much time do you give to 'fast' reading in your curriculum? Well worth reading this to reflect upon.

[Dylan Wiliam @dylanwiliam]

Now this is very interesting, and I don't think at all obvious. Reading challenging texts aloud, and at a fast pace, improved the reading comprehension of all students, but for the lowest achievers, the gains were almost twice as great: https://t.co/TxJ1MZPI4X.

[Mr Sealy @EdwardSealy]

Ooooooh. Very interesting!

Just in time for Wednesday’s exam, we’ve looked at the theme of kingship and how you can apply it to a range of major and minor characters. #gcseenglish #teamenglish #aqa https://t.co/Q7EZRfH3tG

@hayIeyrmars @Team_English1 I wouldn’t use the mark scheme as a prescriptive tool. To lift pupils to perceptive, teach them high-level knowledge, repeat ad nauseam, and show them explicitly how to phrase it. Then the marks take care of themselves! Check out our pods for tips on avoiding bolt on context too!

[The English Network @TheEnglishNetw1]

Just over two weeks until Lit Paper 1! What better way to prepare than with our in-depth discussion of Lady Macbeth? Enjoy!#teamenglish #aqa https://t.co/5HggvIfrGD

[The English Network @TheEnglishNetw1]

A great way to support pupils in listening actively to the podcasts. Brilliant resource!

[Elizabeth @lizzyraston]

Questions to accompany the amazing @TheEnglishNetw1 Macbeth Context Podcast. I used it for cover, but it would work equally well as a homework task.https://t.co/iUJlECa6hz https://t.co/iJQUgrvLfr
