After taking tons of tests over the years, I have honed a study technique that works well for me.

And hopefully, it works for you too!

A thread on the study technique that got me through med school, residency, fellowship, and one of the hardest board exams I’ve ever taken:🧵📚

[The Readiatrician- not here anymore @readiatrician]

I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!”

With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

@sherish_o Lemn Sissay wrote a poem for the centenary of the Somme which has beautiful natural imagery. https://t.co/F6p02HBYPz lovely against poems like VB’s “Perhaps”, RB’s “The soldier” and WO’s “Futility”

🧵 'On Language & the Power of Rhetoric'

Why do some political speeches stick in the mind, or lines from poems linger in the heart?

There's a near-invisible heritage of language that we still use in speeches & writing today: it is rhetoric. Let's revel in rhetorical devices...

Signs of WHW lethally mutating...

✅ Talking about writing a WHW paragraph
✅ Colour coding or modelling discrete aspects of WHW, eg the 'what'
✅ Thinking about an essay in chunks of WHW
✅ Seeing it as strictly linear (W and then H)
✅ Seeing it as a template to be filled

@EmmaIronmonger Anything in EMC book?

[Farida Mili @FaridaMili]

For both Macbeth and Sheila, their ill fitting clothes emblemise their undeserved privledge. Priestley takes this further by also using it to symbolise Eva's undeserved lack of privledge. @Team_English1 what else?

[Sarah Pullee @_SARichardson]

@sophmarsbar @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy I have done this in the past. I asked 4 questions: what should we continue / stop / start / change. Sent via google forms to all in dept and line management. Really interesting feedback!
