Beyond exciting to see ♥️ How To Get a 9 in Shakespeare 🖤 out in the wild! I’d love to give away a free copy: if you fancy one for a #Shakespeare mad Year 10/11, your own bedside table #CPD, or to put on a department bookshelf - just retweet! TIA #teamenglish #freebie #comp

To be also clear, there are no overtly #LBGTQ+ people in Gilead society in The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) because the regime has killed and suppressed them. As has happened and is happening in many times & places.

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

My goodness, some of you are good at misreading! To be clear: when HandmaidsTale came out in 85, there was disbelief. I thought a religious-right takeover was possible in the US, and was Crazy Margaret. Premature, but unfortunately too close. That doesn’t make me happy.

@_mxlaika Congratulations Malaika! 🥂

[The Ramsey Academy @RamseyAcademy]

For Sports Day this year @RamseyAcademy introduced a new student led reporter initiative, where students interviewed competitors & took photos and videos of the various sporting events. Thanks to Mr Walker for setting up this initiative. A full gallery will be available shortly.

@GCSE_Macbeth Tricky one as all characters have come up at least once… potentially Eva… and maybe even; equality, power, age, ignorance, blame… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyone fancy an early copy of ‘Ready to Teach: A Christmas Carol’? Give this a RT and someone will be chosen at random on Thursday! Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎅🏼 #shamelessplug @teachals @JohnCattEd

@MissMeeks14 @Team_English1 We tend to do a reiterate question timings, order in which to answer, sentence stems, key skills for each, and writing skills for section B… very chilled, and nothing too fancy, and nothing they haven’t heard before during lessons.

@mediamrshields @SawtoothRob Dr Strangelove for me.. or Throne of Blood

[Mr L Dare @MrDare01]

@MissMeeks14 You could pick a few short stories, & form a pop-up book club: get them reading, then pair off and discuss their story / certain images, why they liked, or didn’t like it etc. then at the end, get them to do a quotation explosion on what they deem to be the most powerful phrase?

@sophmarsbar @Team_English1 @FunkyPedagogy Baby Driver or Drive both have amazing openings! 👌🏼
