I had a think about what vocabulary questions might look like. I used Geoff Barton's classic list of 100 high-level words as my test case (geoffbarton.co.uk/files/student-…) I made questions. They're in a booklet. I'm interested to know what you think of it. drive.google.com/open?id=1nuklt…

Taking a while but the start of a Hamlet context pack for my Y12s is underway. I’m sure there’s loads I still need to include - what would you include? Happy to share! ✨ Team English #edutwitter #Shakespeare

I mentioned a MEGA resource pack I was making for Y11. I’ve put a LOT of my resources (free,paid and new) into a MAHOOSIVE revision pack for Y11. It’s available on my website but is font heavy and due to formatting not all of it is there. But, if useful: laurawebbcpd.com/resources/

I've just uploaded 10 hours of Y11 lit & lang revision sheets to my resources page here: funkypedagogy.com/resources/ I print these as A3 sheets - one side of Literature and one side of Language. Each side has 30 minutes of specific timed activities. Feel free to use/adapt/ignore.

THANK YOU to the Harper Green School family for welcoming me to their school today to speak to KS3 and KS4 about Sarah’s Legacy and #DomesticAbuse - an incredibly supportive and welcoming school with solid values and respectful, kind and thoughtful young people. #EmpathyLightbulbs 💡
