I'm an Assistant Curriculum Leader for English in a school nr Bristol. Film, music, books, life, love and learning are some of my passions. All views my own.

@GCSE_Macbeth Totally agree about The Wire. Although would put Ozark in 2nd in a heartbeat.

@GCSE_Macbeth Wow! Had no knowledge of this, was intrigued and down a Google rabbit hole now. Now I'll read the poem! (Context is all, no?) 😉

I am running out of P2 mini mocks.
Only one answer for it...
A few more coming for the final four days, will share on here if helpful.
AQA seem to love travel and weather, so I'm sticking with these themes 🤣

@GCSE_Macbeth Comparison of unreliable narrators: WHeights, Remains of the day and Julian Barnes' Talking it over. Actually quite enjoyed it!

@Gwenelope @moonbeeaam I was scrolling through, thinking: when is someone going to say this?! 😄

@DoWise I used your ideas today - thank you so much! The character viewpoint one was perfect as I teach structure by thinking about POV and then identifying and/or using 'looking' words and 'position' words. Very much looking forward to reading @ChrisYoules book too

@volewriter @handm It's infuriating isn't it? Although my little girl loves her 'digger dress' from Tesco! Bravo Tesco!

Power and Conflict poetry flashcards (1 for each poem) - they have a summary of the poem, three key message/ideas from the poems that can be used as 'hooks' for their comparison & analysis plus a selection of key quotes for each. They may help someone! https://t.co/zpwsvYe0qd

@ask_aubry 🤣 There have been a few germs going about the household to be fair...

[Caroline Martin 💙 @catchmartin]

@ask_aubry I was born in the UK and I have a stinking cold and a bit of a rubbish but mainly because I'm so snotty and cold and I'm sure you're pleased you marked the occasion too much but it will save them a trip here which won't be easy now.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be doing a thread on each of the ‘Power and Conflict’ poems that some of you will be reading for your English Literature GCSEs.

I can’t promise that they will be original or even very good, but … I’ll try by best!

First up: Ozymandias 🐫

@Ebor7 @Miss_JRO85 Someone emailed asking the team for ideas recently? Can't remember who but this is worth a look!

@Ebor7 Makes me miss teaching Language Change at Alevel!

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

The letters "ough" can be pronounced at least 8 different ways in English.

How did that happen?!
