The persuasive writing that came from this task did not disappoint!

Posted on FB 👏🏼👏🏼

A completely random thought but I absolutely love teaching! It truly is the best job in the world. My students genuinely make me laugh, make me proud and teach me things about the world every single day. I am so grateful! 💚

I am so deeply angry at the racist abuse received by our England players. This is more than just "not okay". But I am reassured when I see the majority of our nation vehement in their disgust. So many moral voices drowning out that of the ignorant ❤ #ENG

“The English Department aim to foster a love of literature and through reading a wide variety of literary heritage and modern texts, pupils acquire knowledge of the world around them developing culturally, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually.”

History is repeating itself. It is the final day of the Summer holidays and this time I am binge watching series 2 of Suits 🤷🏻‍♀️

Our first official book club meeting was a success! Thank you to all pupils who came and shared their thoughtful and insightful ideas. You have made my very stressful day a whole lot better! 💚💛📚St. Monicas High School English St Monica's RC High School Book Clubs in Schools

I am currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak St. Monicas High School English #WorldBookDay

I've just read the scene in The Book Thief where Max Vandenburg has a dream about being in a boxing match with Hitler. Wow. I am absolutely blown away by that piece of writing. So powerful. How do I incorporate this into a lesson??

I've got a longer commute to work now so have created an Audible account. Can anyone recommend any books that they haven't been able to put down? I'm open to any suggestions! #BookRecommendations

Congratulations to our year 8 football team who became the Bury schools football champions on Friday night.

Next year I'll be teaching To Kill A Mockingbird to a top set Year 9 group. It is my first time teaching it! Wondered if anyone had any resources they'd be willing to share? 🙏 Team English

Popped in to see Dracula today 🧛 @ Whitby Abbey

Start at a new school tomorrow. Nerves have definitely set in. Going to have to start a new Colleen Hoover book to distract myself 🤦🏻‍♀️😬

This half term I am teaching Stone Cold to a top set Year 9. I have never taught this text before 😩 does anyone have any resources that might help? Team English

How do you get a grade 8 or 9 in a persuasive speech? What fundamental pointers would you give to students who were trying to achieve this?

Can anyone give me any sophisticated words/ phrases that they would use to describe Gerald in An Inspector Calls? (Child friendly ones only please 😂🤦🏻‍♀️)

Off to Bath tomorrow for a couple of days. We have never been before. If anyone has any recommendations of what to do/ coffee shops etc, i'd love to hear them!! #Bath #Staycation #travel
