@heymrsbond Not a teacher here, but this is what my teachers did and I loved that conversation so much that I can still quote from that poem 10 years later!
@heymrsbond Supply them with the original and a copy with one word changed- or they change one word (Ode on Grecian Urn vs. Ode to Grecian Urn; beauty is truth, truth beauty vs. beauty is truth, truth is beauty) and have them discuss in groups Keats’s word choice and what that tells us.
‘Infrastructure is a fundamental underpinning of the health and wealth of the country’. A great interview covering the need to depoliticise infrastructure, agree on a long term pipeline and spark a nationwide debate about what we actually want to build.
Books are mirrors (in which we see our own lives reflected back to us), windows (that give us a glimpse into other worlds), sliding glass doors (through which we can be “transported”), and so much more!

There is no such thing as multimodal balance:
🚲City put up barriers to protect cyclists in a bike lane.
🚗Drivers kept bonking into the barriers.
🚗Drivers complained it's not safe to bonk into barriers.
🚗City removed barriers so drivers can bonk into softer things.
