Tried this out with Year 10 today. I was sceptical but their feedback was great; I’ll be able to plan accordingly now, knowing clearly what helps them and what they want more of in lessons. It was really insightful and more informative than I think I realised it’d be.
One of the criticisms of mini whiteboards, quite rightly, is that they are a bit of a faff. Giving out boards, then pens, then rubbers etc
So, I bought some plastic zip wallets. 2 boards, 2 pens, 2 rubbers. Pop one on each table. Done.
Help needed: We’re teaching A-level English Language for the first time and we’re really struggling to get hold of resources. In particular for Language Diversity. Has anyone got anything that they’d generously share with us? @Team_English1
Open evening tonight and WOW I think that was the busiest one I’ve ever worked, literally didn’t stop! My favourite thing was our book wall, parents and children adding their favourite books to our English corridor. See the last pic for my favourite entry.
Starting to plan units on Language Change and Language Discourses for AQA A-Level English Language. If anyone would be kind enough to share any resources/expertise OR point me in the right direction to helpful texts, that would be amazing! @EngLangBlog @Team_English1
