@hkateaching @HaleDonal They have potential to be. My understanding of AO3 at L6 is that it 1) deals more in the abstract, e.g. interrogating and debating ideologies and social constructs rather than just stating they exist, and 2) is often arrived at over the course of the essay, not just singularly

[Chloe Patterson @cb_patterson]

@hkateaching @HaleDonal I can see an argument for upper band 5 or lower band 6 tbh, and so do the exam board with the tolerance they allow. Method aside, there’s thoughtful moments but wouldn’t say it’s really conceptualised and interrogatory

[Chloe Patterson @cb_patterson]

@LakkayaP HUGE congrats

[Chloe Patterson @cb_patterson]

@Positivteacha I find this really interesting!

I wrote my PGCE final research piece on the “warrior curriculum” & this exact issue, interviewing teachers from a school who has transitioned *to* L&R and R&J.

[Chloe Patterson @cb_patterson]

@HaleDonal @Team_English1 Yes! Or pretty much any of her other anguish-ridden stuff, “be some other name”, etc.

[Chloe Patterson @cb_patterson]

@sarahlewisnash @HaleDonal @Team_English1 Yeah. It would take some fairly abstract thinking to apply that extract (her frustration with adults) to her wider difficulties. Not good!

[Chloe Patterson @cb_patterson]

@sarahlewisnash @HaleDonal @Team_English1 We do Macbeth too, luckily. But when I saw the R&J extract, my first reaction was “this is not accessible”

[Chloe Patterson @cb_patterson]

@Becky7692 @Team_English1 Love this one from Dunkirk. Great for perspective, tonal shift, climax… https://t.co/y3eFdA3CbB

@MissNS_Eng Have you tried explicitly teaching possible idea-generating structures like ‘past, present, future’, or ‘social, economic, moral impacts’ ? 😃

2 days of Ofsted done ✅

Now onto Y11 mocks and Y7 parents’ evening tomorrow 💀

@UniofOxford is the world’s #1 ranked university. Academics at its colleges are regularly paid less than the living wage. We ran a survey this summer about their experiences. The results are damning. Here’s our new report on pay and conditions for casualised staff @ucu #ucurising

I love it for me that 1 week into the new school year my usb stick has—according to IT smart people—“fried itself”. 😍

[Chloe Patterson @cb_patterson]

@FunkyPedagogy We use the Umbridge & Harry detention scene from HP for this!

A whole year after my cats escaped the cattery they were staying in, 18 miles from home, we have now miraculously found our second cat Max and they are reunited. 😭♥️

@victoria_g_wood Thank you! ♥️ He seems completely fine. Scruffy, dirty. We’ve got a vet coming out to do a house visit on Monday as we think he may have a tooth infection.
