Interactive notebooks. A creative way to give A Level students the terms they need- a revision aid too! #PedagooFriday #engchatuk #engchat

Does anyone have an engaging lesson for year 6 induction day? @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK 🙏

[Reena Upadhya @reenateacha]

English teachers, what are you all doing for homework, especially at KS3? We have done Educake for 2 years and cancelled it for next year. I find Seneca awkward to use and we have GCSE Pod for KS4. Any suggestions?

Two English jobs (full time & part-time) available at my fantastic school in the Leicester area. Take a look.

New displays in English this week, promoting our A Level subjects. Need all the help we can get competing with maths and science!

Having an absolutely superb day @AstonUniversity for the A Level English Language conference. Reassuring to know I’ve covered lots of today’s content and gotten some great takeaways too. Oh, and the students have enjoyed themselves too!

@Bowtie_pedagogy @FunkyPedagogy @Team_English1 We get students to log their reading in a reading app. Track My Read. Could use the data to show how many students are reading and for hoe long.

As I've seen elsewhere: Waking up this morning, we have a Christian King, a Hindu Prime Minister, a Jewish Home Secretary and a Muslim Mayor of London.

You can disagree with personal politics, but that is a victory for a diverse, multicultural Britain - and we should be proud.

Does anyone know where I can find some research on using visualisers in the classroom and their impact please? #teamenglish @Team_English1

40 year anniversary of the Brixton riots today. Useful podcast from Big Narstie that covers contextual info for the AQA Ghost Town CSP #teammedia https://t.co/yXQg8idq0T

This made me laugh on my way to work this morning. Sounds like the instructions I used to give out for English lit exams 😂

I hope @BorisJohnson acknowledges the sacrifice that many Hindus & Sikhs have to make with this lockdown in order for Christmas to go ahead. Diwali 2 weeks away and looks like many of us will be spending it alone. I bet he doesn't even know what Diwali is. #coronavirusuk
