I've been working with these diagrams to help students structure PEEL paragraphs so I thought I'd share it on here in case anybody would find it useful. This is for an AQA 16/20 marker. I created it to help students know the difference between eg and exp. #historyteacher

Does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives to Steplab and IRIS? Just need something for recording videos and cloud storage. Thanks!

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@Dr_RJHarris Thank you! That's amazing! How can I get them to him/get in touch with him?

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

Know this is a long shot, does anyone know of anywhere I can send/anything I can do with old textbooks? Not whole sets, just one offs. TIA :) #summerclearout

Let's chuck in some sleep regression too...

@historysjm Fab! Will get something over to you soon!

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@historysjm Not exactly the same but I do an interwar enquiry with our GCSE students which looks at Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Japan and USSR. It's quite text heavy but is designed to be a brief comparative contextual study. Happy to share if useful :)

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

Thank you for all the advice so far. Main take-aways at this point:
Be two things...
1. Organised
2. Kind to yourself

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

1st time mum, returning to work in Dec, does anyone have any advice/words of wisdom on how I can best prepare mentally/literally? Have been out of school since Sept. last year. Love my job but feeling a real mix of emotions about returning. Any RTs appreciated. TIA! @maternityCPD

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@D_M_Calvin @maternityCPD Love this advice - especially as I'll be paying for childcare until 5pm!

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@Mumsyme @maternityCPD Thank you for this - have looked at the school calendar already but curious as to what 'expectations' will be. And yes to the dressing grown idea!

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@being_willow @maternityCPD Thanks for this - will check out the @VoicingEd podcast 👍

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@BlondeOh @maternityCPD "Give yourself permission to enjoy work and baby" - love that!

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@HelenScott88 @maternityCPD Thank you for this! Like the practical advice for the wipes! And are the spare clothes for me, my daughter or both of us?! 😂

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@Mrs_Osborn_ @maternityCPD Thank you so much for your advice, I will be sure to DM you - my baby girl is also 8 months :) (she'll be about 10 and a half months when I go back).

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@MsQuinnHistory Hope your Crohn's flare is under control now 💜 #ibdwarrior to

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@mrwbw I like to sit students together in that situation and then sit with them, seminar style.

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@MsQuinnHistory As someone about to embark on their first mat leave (1 month today!), this was encouraging to read :)

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@historysjm We look at it in year 8 following a study in to the American Revolution, though not in significant detail.

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

I should probably add that the overarching/underpinning element to our year 8 curriculum (where WW1 features) is 1750-1918 as an age of revolution(s).

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

Know this is a long shot but would anybody be prepared to 'talk' to me about how their dept teaches WW1?Am WFH pre mat-leave & am replanning our enquiry.Looking for inspiration after teaching it the same way for ages and isn't a specialist area of mine. TIA! RT appreciated :)

[Siobhan O'Neill @sgfoneill]

@Historylecturer Of course, sorry I didn't mean that to come across as it did, I'm going to blame 'baby brain' on that one...!
