We’ve chosen to update the texts we offer at GCSE to improve the range of voices and experiences in the classroom.
Hear teacher Niquelle, and Head of English, Bina, talk about why they’re so excited to introduce these new texts to their classes.
@MissMarch_TRM @Team_English1 We teach “Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line” to all of our year 9 across our trust. Focus through an ‘aspects of narrative’ lens. Second year of teaching and been successful so far.
Really exciting changes happening. Proud to be a tiny part of the on-going discussions, particularly when so many of us are making changes at KS3 already @HumphreyPerkins
Society is changing and so should our qualifications. We’re introducing three new set texts and a third poetry cluster for our GCSE English Literature specification from 2023, as part of our ongoing commitment to give students a curriculum that resonates with their lives.
We think you’ll absolutely love Part 2 of our brand new Curriculum Conversations course – creating inclusivity when teaching ‘An Inspector Calls’ #GCSEEnglish. Places are filling up fast so book your place now > https://t.co/xLWpk2LA2V.
@MissParmaViolet @Team_English1@shadylady222@SaysMiss Shameless promotion of a CPD for AQA in which I spoke about ways into ACC using Djinn Patrol https://t.co/7gQVvTCVGY
@MissParmaViolet @Team_English1@shadylady222@SaysMiss We replaced OMAM with Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line. We study it from an ‘Aspects of Narrative’ perspective & we have a running theme of young detectives in lit through our KS3 curriculum
We wish you all a very enjoyable summer break! Don’t forget to book on to Part 2 of our brand new Curriculum Conversations course – creating inclusivity when teaching ‘An Inspector Calls’ #GCSEEnglish. Places are filling up fast so book your place now > https://t.co/xLWpk2LA2V.
@benniekara Changes like these also allow for a rich KS3 curriculum where “canonical” texts as well as so much more can be studied without repeating GCSE content.
