@Positivteacha Eva Smith in An Inspector Calls was a ‘slag’ written on a white board and held up in front of whole class. Argued his point of view in a ‘chat’ afterwards where we discussed these views and why they might come across as misogynistic…

@Positivteacha Solid victory. Looking forward to the new book.

@FunkyPedagogy I am altogether inclined to admire it exceedingly…❤️❤️

Soooo. Had another AQA Lit review back today. Across both papers, it moved up 41 marks from a Grade 6 to a 9. Buzzing and fuming.

@Wonkothesane15 @Positivteacha Brilliant!!! There is such a teacher shortage (leaving in droves) so it will be hugely appreciated. Oh don’t expect to put your feet up. Ever. Well done though 👏👏👏

@TillyTeacher @GCSE_Macbeth We do HV in y9 and love the insights to leadership that it engenders but also links to writing their own speeches. Love. It. ❤️
