‘Miss, why do we look at the connotations of words in such depth; surely the authors don’t think about that when they’re writing?’ Dug out this image of Owen’s ‘Dulce’ manuscript to respond:’gargling/gurgling/gagging/guttering’ -a single word considered closely for effect.

@MsElenaEducates @DrMBoyd @Team_English1 Does it need to link to other poems in the unit? If not, Nettles by Vernon Scannell is an oldy but a goody.

@Mathew_Lynch44 I made a similar comment on her post!

[Ms Martin @MsCMartinTeach]

@mrs_denglish @Xris32 Yes, have had to restrain myself from commenting!

An unbelievable amount of last minute ‘advice’ appearing on TikTok ahead of tomorrow’s Lit exam. I can imagine students falling down a rabbit hole & becoming even more confused & worried as these tips move the focus away from the content & skills they’ve been taught in class.

@TeacherBusy Such a great idea. As soon as saw it, I thought it would be a brilliant resource. Have you ever seen this from @aoc? Brilliant takedown of a fellow (male) politician who swore at her on the steps of the Capitol building: https://t.co/Nr9rHYe6Xu
I use it in a rhetoric unit.
