@Team_English1 can anyone point me in the direction of published, accurate translations of ACC, AIC, and Macbeth in Arabic? I have an EAL student from Syria and want to give them the best chance of understanding plot in their native language before we approach analysis in Eng.

More useful apps - the language in the categories is a bit awkward but you find the name of the apps. The hyperlinks don't work but you can find them through https://t.co/ND4bVLE7fp or google.

Interesting thread here

🧵 about #class #privilege and #privateeducation. Watching the Olympic swimming last night and Clare Balding said something in such an incredulous tone which summed up the establishment perspective and how their experience differs. 1/

If you're on the left, the results are very heartening indeed.

- The Tories got smashed, and will lose the next election

- But this is nothing like 1997.

Labour had a 17 point lead over the Tories in the local elections before the 1997 general election.

This time, they have a 9 point lead.

Labour wasn't losing seats to parties to their left in the pre-1997 local election.

This time, Labour have haemorrhaged support to the Greens and independents.

What that underlines is a massive rejection of the Tories, but none of the enthusiasm for an opposition party set for a landslide victory of the sort on the cards for Labour.

It shows that already key parts of Labour's electoral coalition - younger people, Muslims and other minority Brits - are angry about Keir Starmer's leadership.

That's before he's even prime minister and actually enacting policies which anger people - like continued austerity, or complicity in war crimes, for example.

There is already a constituency of people in Britain who are actively rejecting Starmerism from the left.

That will only grow when Labour is in power. So the task of the left is to build on this base - and then build from there when Labour is in office.

@Team_English1 does anyone have Eduqas based Age Related Expectations for Lit and Lang focused on KS3 year by year? Moved from an AQA school to an Eduqas school and looking at how we mark assessments in Y7 to Y9.

30,000 killed. 1.8 million displaced. Thousands of children starving slowly to death. That is the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

This is not the time for equivocation. This is the time for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

[Qamar Shafiq @MrQShafiq]

Inspired by @DoWise’s original AIC resource, see attached resources for AIC, ACC, and Macbeth that encourage students to link quotations across the lit texts in order to layer their analysis and show a holistic understanding.

Every evening as I lie beside my sleeping four-year-old, I watch. I witness.
I am the mother screaming in grief. I am the child whose parents have been ripped from them. I see you. I hear you.

@MichaelRosenYes your recent poems inspired me to pen my own thoughts.

[Miss C @SaharaJC83]

@teachwellall @naomicfisher This is an interesting idea, especially if those Y8s can be assigned based on if they attended the same primaries so the children have familiar faces.

[Miss C @SaharaJC83]

@naomicfisher This is my son to a tee. Started secondary in September 2023, has just turned 12 at Christmas. Adored primary school but the change in him since starting secondary is heartbreaking. I don’t know how to help him and now we’re looking into counselling to try and help him.
