@Vanessa16673005 Hi, these should be on LitDrive (I think) I have not taught it for years now sadly and there’s a lot I would change now but hope they’re of some use

@HoDandHeart I needed to read this. On mat leave so I was able to attend my first born’s first ever sports day today, but the awareness that I would likely never get to again loomed large. I can see his school from my classroom but have missed so much ☹️

@LauraLolder Congratulations 🎉 that’s fantastic news. Well done you!

@groovybrewster @amy_smith117 @Team_English1 @NIEngTeachers I live the descriptions of ‘the boy’ Pinkie as small and frail juxtaposed with the fear he is able to elicit from grown men #WeekendLitChat

Morning @fabfour_coffee how can I track an order placed on 30/03 that hasn’t arrived yet? Thanks

Yes to this.

“This is from someone that voted for you. What a disappointment you are.”

Tonight on Question Time, this #bbcqt audience member says the Government “know the cost of everything and the value of nothing”. Watch on @BBCOne after the news, or live via the iPlayer.

“We’ve decided not to invest any money to prevent teachers or children getting sick and dying so we’d be grateful if some older and more vulnerable people stepped forward to help us out tor free.”

@LauraLolder I’d say mature Year 9 students who read widely anyway will be ok, but feels more KS4 to me. Great choice ☺️

@jon_hutchinson_ No training. Had the opportunity to observe one phonics lesson as part of a day in a primary

“...when the chips were down we came through and did a job that made parents, pupils and colleagues feel safe and well led. If only the same were true of our political leaders.”

Sums up the last 18 months for me.

I just think that in our rush to make KS3 English rigorous, knowledge-rich and intellectually authentic -- all fine aims -- we shouldn't be too quick to skip the valuable, intermediate step that YA fiction can provide.

Cheers.

@Gogmagogla We read as much of the whole play aloud as possible, students taking parts.

[Penguin Books UK @PenguinUKBooks]

Just 1% of GCSE English literature students study a book by a writer of colour. No more than 7% study a book by a woman. #LitInColour aims to help change that. (1/3)

[Nat @Nannetts]
