POWER & CONFLICT EXAM PREP RESOURCES
These were made a while ago now but in case they’re of use to anyone, here are some short videos I made about the P&C poetry. Also lots of practice exam questions. Help yourself if they’re useful! >>>

If I was designing a KS3 curriculum now I think I'd try to consciously do it around APPROACHES. I'd explicity structure each half term / term of Y7 and Y8 around exploring a different way of reading.

Year 8 have been using Andy Burnham’s speech as inspiration for their own speech’s against knife crime. Today, we discussed his language choices and the effect on the audience.
One of my favourite aspects of teaching conscious crafting is teaching all about personification. After exploring some famous literary settings, we delved into our own descriptions and produced some lovely writing again!🌄🌅
How it started VS how it's going... 💭 I've been experimenting with writing 4 different styles of answers with my y11 class and actually found that undoing some bad habits, starting at simple and working up, has been a huge success! Small steps.👏 #teamenglish
Ofsted has a new interim chair. He's a trained teacher, became a head, led schools in tough areas, his schools that are now THE BEST in the country for social mobility. Incidentally, he's a muslim. What bit do you think the Telegraph decided to focus on? Utterly disgraceful.
No one works harder, gives more, cares more for all children in our schools than this man. He wants the very best for children in the toughest communities in our country. To lift them out of poverty to be the best they can be 🧵
I’m sorry, but I have to say something about this. I am so distressed by the poison, racism, and hate that has been posted on this vile platform about one of the most inspirational men I have ever met, @MuftiPatel 🧵
Congratulations to our Patron Sir Mufti Hamid Patel on being appointed the interim Chair of @Ofstednews: https://t.co/ICFkGJzmUZ
We’d like to wish him the best of luck in the role!
