A Level Language Teachers: I am currently looking into the grade boundaries we use for marking student essays and giving it a “letter score” that the students are obsessed with. Is anyone willing to share the ones they use for each of the tasks within both exams? #teamenglish

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

@NATEfeed @Team_English1 #teamenglish I am trying to find some extra things for our A Level Language students to do as there are so many online courses link to Lit (such as sovereign) but nothing for Lang. Any suggestions?

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

@Team_English1 @NATEfeed I’m currently looking for ideas for a “mini” investigation and “mini original writing” scheme that my Y12 AQA Language students can do before attempting their NEAs. Anyone do this and have any ideas they wouldn’t mind sharing?

I’m looking into finding speakers to come in to speak to our A Level Lang and Lit cohorts. For Lit I would love an author with talks on Lit A based topics or the process of writing and Lang I would love someone to talk CLD/Language Change. Any experiences/suggestions?

AQA A Level Language teachers: would love some feedback on this question 3 for Meanings and Reps from Summer 2018 (rudeness). What mark would you be thinking? #aqa #teamenglish @Team_English1 @NATEfeed

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

Making the leap from Lit A to Lit B - has anyone got any good resources or schemes/plans for Death of a Salesman, Kite Runner or Blake poetry? Would love to see how people are teaching! @Team_English1 @TeamEnglishNC @ThePiXLNetwork

@martha_0824 @TeachersSPL I’m just confused as to whether we are doing ShPP if I’m going back to work on my normal salary (curtailing) and he is then going off on SPL. He seems to think his company pay him this as I will be back at work and don’t need my employer to pay him.

In Maternity/Shared Parental Leave/Shared Parental Pay form hell - any advice would be amazing as my brain is fried!

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

@Ms_BaldwinHills Yeah! We got written feedback overall and then for each question we had answered.

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

NPQ Leading Teaching passed - so happy with the feedback!

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

@CGorczak Just think logically about the questions and try and base it on research as well as your own ideas of how to implement these. Good luck!

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

Currently reading through some of our A Level English Language Original Writing NEA and would love someone to have a look at one of them for me as a second pair of eyes. Help a gal out? #teamenglish

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

@shorny_m @ThePiXLNetwork @msybibi That’s scary and exciting!

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

Seeing all the teachers at the @ThePiXLNetwork who are also publishing their own guides and books makes me really believe I could write one on Carol Ann Duffy’s Feminine Gospels as there are no resources for it.

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

@EduRashida I got the best one from New Look. Long, oversized and white fur lined on the collar and cuffs.

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

First ever @ThePiXLNetwork event today and it’s been brilliant. So many ideas for KS5! Definitely will be back next year ✨

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]

@MissNS_Eng @ThePiXLNetwork Thank you so much for today! Really enjoyed your session.

[Mrs C Ainsworth @mrscainsworth]
