@fmxnn03 Yay!! Mr Mann- it suits you. Hope you’re well. 🙂

Can anybody recommend a text (short story/poem/nonfiction) that lends itself nicely to an S2 personal/reflective writing unit? @EnglishScotland #English #teaching

Happy December! The BGE Book Group created a book themed advent calendar for Inverurie Academy.

Today, day 1, gave pupils the opportunity to think about their favourite Christmas books/movies.

Stay tuned for what's behind the window for 2nd Dec.

Reflective Reading strikes again- S1 & S2 have been developing their literacy skills using an article from Breaking News English and the RR outline. We worked on audience, purpose and overall comprehension. Well done! @EnglishScotland #inverurieeng #invacd

[Mrs Taylor @misssmart_eng]

Well done to 2.2 for their character relationship work for their study of Private Peaceful. Great job! #invacd #teaminver @EnglishScotland

Decided to treat myself: I’m in love with my new @TPositiveTC Teacher Planner. Feeling smugly organised for this coming week ☺️ #teachertwitter #organisation

[Mrs Taylor @misssmart_eng]

Well done to 2.8. We started our study into ‘The Dark Knight’ by examining parts of The Joker’s chaotic character. Next up: causing Joker-like anarchy on perfectly calm scenes/scenarios. #EnglishTeacher #thedarkknight

And breathe. After a whole evening of folio marking yesterday, I’m relishing this lovely peace & quiet. #readingcommunity

[Mrs Taylor @misssmart_eng]

@HeyesListendj Just finished The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. I highly recommend that. Also Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid

[Mrs Taylor @misssmart_eng]

@HeyesListendj Is it worth sticking with? I tried it last year but couldn’t get into it.

[Mrs Taylor @misssmart_eng]

@GlenJamesFraser @stephenpaton134 @freddymcconnell I’d love a copy, if you wouldn’t mind. [email protected]

Thoughts on classroom roles/jobs in secondary school for S1 and S2 pupils? @EnglishScotland #classroom

[Mrs Taylor @misssmart_eng]

I’m looking for advice about how to structure S1 reading periods (independent reading, group novels, whole class novels). How do you structure your reading periods? I’m aware that independent reading isn’t appealing to all pupils. @EnglishScotland #Reading

[Mrs Taylor @misssmart_eng]

@HollyCGHamilton @EnglishScotland I’d love a look at your hard work- these too immense. Can I be incredibly cheeky and ask you to send via email? [email protected]

[Mrs Taylor @misssmart_eng]

@missmcvittie @HKane @oasis Thank you, lovely! 🙂
