@42buckley @Mathew_Lynch44 @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy I’m just about to start ‘Patron Saints of Nothing’ by Randy Ribay with my y9. Setting spans US and the Phillipenes with a teenage protagonist.

@GrevelLindop @Shareaholic I am unable to access this link - are you able to share with me directly? Many thanks.

@SNunneley @TheWritingRevol Sonja, what does CFU stand for?

@Misskcuth @Team_English1 @shadylady222 @Mathew_Lynch44 @SPryke2 @Xris32 We use the plague chapter from Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell. It works really well as a complete narrative and has tons of fantastic language to explore.

Interesting question that I am unsure about - Edexcel AL Literature - can students choose a screenplay for their coursework? @PearsonTeachEng

[Verity Goodliffe @VerityGoodliffe]

@devans_43 @Team_English1 @EdexcelTeachers @EngChatUK This is pretty much what we are aiming for next year - prose covered by Christmas between teachers and then the same focus as you have but with the poetry a bit more spread. We’ve always done Shakespeare in y12 but keen to leave until y13.

@EdexcelTeachers AL Lit teachers, how do you structure the teaching of the course? Our teaching pairs each take sections of the 3 papers but we are planning to share the teaching of the prose texts next yr - has anyone done this? #teamenglish @EngChatUK @Team_English1

[Verity Goodliffe @VerityGoodliffe]

@AlastairHarriso @EdexcelTeachers @EngChatUK @Team_English1 And how does Teacher 1 organise the Prose - all in one year or over the two?

[Verity Goodliffe @VerityGoodliffe]

@PearsonTeachEng Thanks!

@PearsonTeachEng @Team_English1 @EdexcelTeachers @literaryconnect @EnglishWorthing @englishlulu @benniekara Clare, where can I find the diverse anthologies? The link here says 'page not found'.

@Philippa_Perry @audible_com I started - and finished - this yesterday. A fantastic podcast that has left me with much to think on!

@MrAlexRiley @Team_English1 The Comedy of Errors is a fantastic play to teach at KS3. The students can find the plot a bit complex to begin with but once they get the gist of the mistaken identity they really enjoy unpicking it all and exploring character traits of the twins x 2.

@RoyWatsonDavis New to Twitter and have just looked you up as I reflect on colleagues I admired ... no time to chat about this now you are in full retirement though?!

@PearsonTeachEng Would a focus on Shakespeare's use of the Elizabethan belief in witchcraft to present dramatic tension be a sufficiently open (and focused) question for IGCSE Lit coursework?
