In the last weeks of the yr, I always returned to looking at how grammar instruction could be improved. I know frequent, low-stakes exercises tied in with SoL is key but, my goodness… it never is a ā€˜done’ thing, is it!? Sharing my poster here. #SPaG #teamenglish #litdrive

Macbeth & structure: I printed these out, students chose a Q, found a partner to work with to write their answer. Stuck both parts onto a folded card and placed on a ā€˜timeline’ of the play, so written answers could be read under the Q flap. #teamenglish #litdrive #macbeth

Mr Burton has allowed the cameras back into his now-famous secondary school because there’s a teacher recruitment crisis and he wants to help. He wants everyone to know what a great profession it is and how brilliant it is to work with young people.šŸ‘ theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

One of the best ways to promote "Reading for Pleasure" is to fill your curriculum with reading for learning. That habit of reading builds over time and can't just be a 30 minute homework task from English. Time to put reading back to the top of the class literacyengine.co.uk/index.php/2023…

BREAKING: School has rules. More as we get it. There is nothing in this school’s rules that aren’t completely common expectations in many successful schools around the world. It’s extraordinary how this can make it into the news, and demonstrates the lack of familiarity/
