English teacher and Literacy Lead

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

First World Book Day as Literacy Lead ✅✅

Our library at break time today and yesterday has been the BEST place to be 🥰

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@MissPowellEng @Team_English1 I just had this experience on Wednesday! Agree with others about having something concrete for people to take away and do, and would also recommend scripting exactly what you want to say for any key take away messages so you're clear. Good luck!

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@hmcmenamingmai1 @FunkyPedagogy Thank you! That's really helpful. At the moment I do a different word for year 7, 8, 9, KS4 and KS5. Love the idea of connecting them by prefix.

@Team_English1 Literacy Leads - if any of you do a 'word of the week', how do you choose which words to cover?

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@Team_English1 and literacy leads - does anyone do daily reading in form time? If so, what does it look like in your school? We've tried tutors reading out loud in the past and many non specialists weren't confident with it.

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@MissPendergras1 @Team_English1 Thanks - they're more of a middle set but I think this is probably what I'll do!

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@Team_English1 teaching A Christmas Carol to a set with targets of 5-7. Would you do a cold read or analyse as you go, and why?

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@af_english123 @Team_English1 That's ridiculous! Very annoying :( thanks for the reply

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@Team_English1 #teamenglish do any aqa examiners know if you can do exam marking on an iPad/tablet, or does it have to be a laptop or PC? Thanks in advance :)

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@ScottPughsley How apt for me this week, tried to say 'i've printed out these big bits of speech', tripped over my words and says 'i've printed out these big bitches'. To year 8...

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@bt_uk on Friday I rang you and asked you to keep our internet connected at our current address for another week as you couldn't get us set up at our new address until then, but I've woken up and our line has been disconnected. Is there a way you can reverse this?!

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@AshleighSteane Oo that's a good one! Thanks!

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@Team_English1 I have an interview for the position of literacy lead! Any suggestions for questions I might be asked? :)

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@Team_English1 any literacy people willing to share whole school strategy ideas?

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@BennyTrades @Team_English1 If I feel like I need to stop I probably wouldn't want to do it again anyway 😂

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@Team_English1 #teamenglish I'm on the verge of applying to mark the GCSE exams this year, but I'm nervous about the amount of papers I would have to complete... does anyone know if you can apply to mark a smaller load?

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@MrsPink_CamsEng @Team_English1 That's great, thank you!

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

@MrsPink_CamsEng @Team_English1 That would be perfect! It's my first time doing it so I just want to test the water. How did you request it?

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

God I hope none of my year 10s watched the BBC's A Christmas Carol...

[Mrs C @miss_tea_cher]

Weird to think I'll be getting married at exactly this time next year, only 3 days after finishing the most exhausting term! I'll be dragging my eye bags down the aisle with me!
