RIP Paul Durcan. This was the first poem I read by him, and it absolutely broke me.

Thanks, Sunday Times, for the tedious parade of wealth in your rich list. Now do a feature listing the poorest people in Britain, and why they're getting poorer.

Still have some Yr 11 lessons before Lang 2. Some Q5 essay ideas. Some articles (other publications available). Still use Stuart Pryke fab resources. Am also a secret hoarder of The Week Junior Big Debate articles. Use/ignore. #EnglishLang #GCSEEnglish dropbox.com/scl/fi/126z0ov…

dropbox.com/scl/fi/98vfl6n… Power corrupts. Power controls. Power controls. Language Paper 2 with three modern articles and hopefully no typos to interleave with the 'Power Poems' - Ozymandias et al and Macbeth/AIC etc. #edutwitter #gcseenglish #langpaper2 #gcsemacbeth

Yep

Thinking about Mr Salles ideas about not simply using the 2025 papers as mocks dropbox.com/scl/fi/u7h7z47…

... but instead building my papers based on one of these and then creating a revision cycle around these in the spring term. Could be dangerous, could just work well. Yr 11 always ask last year's students what came up so they know the mock question anyway. dropbox.com/scl/fi/lby8ssy…
