Today is the #Inglorious12th - the start of the red grouse shooting season. This outdated, unjust “sport” is underpinned by crime, and supports nothing but a scorched landscape which is void of balanced biodiversity.

Pls RT if you’d like to see an end to this practice - for wildlife and people.

@LauraLolder @Team_English1 We often begin by the teacher reading aloud an extract of a book they want to recommend before time to browse and renew books. Students then read whilst the teacher circulates and discusses students' reading with them before ending with peer recommendations!

[Laura Prentice @lprentice22]

@lauravarnam Haha, fingers crossed!!

[Laura Prentice @lprentice22]

@Team_English1 Hi everyone, I've been developing an approach for structuring a response to the GCSE Shakespeare extract to whole question, and I'd love to do some reading around the art of teaching structuring an essay. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you very much!
