@msrebeccabirch @GCSE_Macbeth Blue-arsed bloody fly. The alliteration adds a touch of something, I think 😀

@GCSE_Macbeth Excellent!

It took me a while though 😂

@Becky7692 What is a 16yo supposed to do if this is not L4? I swear that would have been L4 in 2022 when I marked.

@ballyzero I just embrace the dripping and sticking clothes lol. My neck fan has not been up to the challenge at all 🙃

@Shabnamagram Wow! You have skills! 🙂

@lkm_eng A few years ago -2019?? AQA's Lit GCSE was an online session from the senior examiner, then standardisation. The training in 2022 was about three hours - I remember as it was after a school day and very long.

@nr_inthesilence @MissLFGS Oh, I don't even know what the question was.

[Ms TLM English Teacher @TraceyMatthews]

@CatherineCahi14 @ManicSara @nr_inthesilence The school needs candidate permission too.

[Ms TLM English Teacher @TraceyMatthews]

@MissLFGS @nr_inthesilence Did the analysis and context address the question (level 3)?

[Ms TLM English Teacher @TraceyMatthews]

@nr_inthesilence @Mrs_G26 In 2022, examiners had to tick every page where there had been no further gain of marks.

@Gwenelope Aww. Life is not always easy.

[Ms TLM English Teacher @TraceyMatthews]

@DarrenGallagh24 Wow! Wonderful. Thank you 🙂

@BarbaraBleiman @Xris32 @damyhill @longr004 @FeetClay I remember being a complete novice essay- writer and thinking big words were what I needed (undergrad). It was a process of trying and testing - then learning - just no. Maybe novice writers have to do it?

Do we have time and space for that?

[Ms TLM English Teacher @TraceyMatthews]

@Xris32 @damyhill @longr004 @FeetClay @BarbaraBleiman One odd word came up one year - smorgasboard?

Are some words just ugly?

[Ms TLM English Teacher @TraceyMatthews]

@damyhill @FeetClay @BarbaraBleiman Orwell on language.

[Ms TLM English Teacher @TraceyMatthews]

@BarbaraBleiman I am with you on this.

@Shabnamagram No visible moon in my part of London that I can see. Overcast, but very still, which is nice.
