We continue to bemoan 1/3 students graded below 4 in Eng Lang when a. grade boundaries are set for that approx proportion b. Eng Lang GCSE is a poor exam that doesn't test competence in use of lang in a meaningful way c. marking is erratic, so the results aren't even reliable.

Dear friends, I have a children’s poem in an anthology edited by Hanan Issa the National Poet of Wales. The book has been shortlisted for an award. Big up‼️

There are 8 in here now: ✅ The Monkey’s Paw ✅ The Landlady ✅ The Pearl ✅ The Birds ✅ To Kill a Mockingbird ✅ Hound of the Baskervilles ✅ Whole Town’s Sleeping ✅ Enduring Love I’m having a rest now 🤣

If you care about and want to know about the Caribbean, then UWI can give you things you couldn't get anywhere else in the world. In my subject, Linguistics, there's so much insight, passion and connection to Caribbean languages and language issues. Second to none imho.

So it's my birthday today 😭, I'm 29. I've asked anyone who wanted to get me something to donate to this instead. It's an archiving project documenting British Caribbean history in NW London with audio recordings. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/m…

Anyway, Lewisham Council, as someone who has lived in the borough my whole life and gone to the fireworks since I was a child. Monetizing is one thing, but actively excluding disabled people is really disappointing and alarming.

The character sentence stems💡 Students used them to plan analytical paragraphs for AIC focusing on Priestley’s purpose and character contrasts. Excellent use of critical vocabulary and thematic connections throughout! 👏🏽 #teamenglish #engchat #AIC
