Next up is another display to fill space - the graveyard of deceased words 😂 I tell students I don’t allow these words in my classroom so thought I would commemorate it with some gravestones and synonym bats... 🦇 @Team_English1#TeamEnglish not uploaded yet but will be soon!
Finished the ‘Write Like a Critic’ display! It’s on a empty wall as I have no display space left. It’s free here: https://t.co/mySmcVtiXv I have lots of other displays on there if you’re looking for inspiration!#teamenglish@Team_English1 Thanks again to @FunkyPedagogy 📚🖋🤓
One of the best tips I ever learned is being imparted to year 7 next year - to find the subject of a sentence, add a tag question. Teaching pupils how to do this routinely allows them to check for fragmented sentences without subjects. Probably old news - I just love it!
A writing resource to help pupils improve their sentence variety in both fiction and non fiction writing. I have included a range of different sentences with examples. Download 👉 https://t.co/lRGmeZyASG
🌟tutor time reading booklet🌟The Week Junior is a fabulous resource. The big debate page is ideal for a tutor time, oracy activity that involves some reading and then encourages students to have an opinion through debating the topic.
The booklet is here:

A few people have asked about this. In the absence of having time to write a blog, a quick thread. First of all we started with introductions. I use a mixture of @SusanSEnglish and @MsMaster13 ideas. We look at what makes them good examples, and practice our own.
@kezamacdonald I’ve not finished reading it yet, but this does seem ironic, particularly considering in the book, Sadie is so critical of Sam for changing key parts of Ichigo so that it will be more successful to market!
I don’t teach Blood Brothers at GCSE level, but my cousin does so we put together a list of quotes with some sort of analysis / explanation for each! It may help someone so thought I would share! @Team_English1
#TeamEnglish *please* do not spend your Easter hols making revision booklets and practice papers for your Y11s.
Instead, enjoy some of my resources on @LitdriveUK. Use the visualiser and drill them in Language lessons for 4 weeks. Not boring, because the extracts are fun! 1/
One of my favourite An Inspector Calls quotes:
Sheila: "Impertinent is such a silly word." (Act 2)
Now, IMPERTINENT is a key word in An Inspector Calls. It tells us about the class mentality of 1912.

UPDATED - I have collated ALL the AQA GCSE Literature past exam questions.
In the run up to exams and/or curriculum design/assessment creations I hope these help.

🌟Creative writing: sentence models🌟
Resources in the 🧵
I've been doing lots of sentence work. Last term, I tried to write with students every lesson, just trying to build writing muscles and expose them to lots of models
Inspired by @ChrisYoules His book is fab!

Mr B - Twitter
Mrs B - Facebook
