I’ve tried to make the sources and questions for a mini English Language P2 assessment more accessible for one of the classes I teach by placing everything on a single A3 page. No need for flicking though stuff. I’ve also used more generous spacing and numbered every line 📝
General targets for GCSE English Language P1 on a sticky label (one of those big ones where you get 2 x labels per page). Ready to be stuck into books for all eternity when next year comes around

Thinking of putting a CPD session together which includes this creative writing scheme we have been using for Y10 tutor this year.
It is 24x30 minute slots to teach transferable creative writing skills including vocab, sentence structure & atmosphere. Thoughts?

One shift that has really strengthened my students’ non-fiction writing is mastering a clear ‘Call To Action’ ending.
We have focused on using direct address, command verbs and a sharp rhetorical question to help them finish with confidence and impact.✍🏽 #engchat#teamenglish
NEW An Inspector Calls 23-lesson scheme for 2026 - the old one was from 2022 (!) and it was a bit outdated so I've re-done it and now it looks like all my others :) I've put it in my google drive & popped a link here - hope it helps someone! https://t.co/vJYItq9ncQ
Whilst I'm here, a few people asked for the resource that generated the timelines I posted. They're just silly little revision resources really but might help someone - I have them for every act of Macbeth and every stave of ACC- link to both folders here! https://t.co/qCkZY9D177

Educator @XpatEducator's structured discussion routine builds it into the process:
2026 LANGUAGE EXAM: I shared this series of lessons last year, but I’ve gone back and revised them to reflect the changes to the AQA English Language exam for 2026. Covers both papers. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1 https://t.co/CBoEx657T2
