Unseen poetry time! Listen on your usual podcast app or here: tinyurl.com/y5nu2kfz There are two handouts: one on how to analyse poetry (tinyurl.com/yyu54szr); and another with a question on Carol Ann Duffy and a cheeky bit of Robbie Burns (tinyurl.com/y5fujhah).

@shadylady222 has done amazing things with her action research into PEE( and ditching it)- students targeted 3/4 attained grade 7s. Check out the presentation when it’s shared after #EducatingNorthants to see the examples. This woman is doing fantastic things for her students. 🤩

Yes ! Keep it formative!
Stop getting pulled into ‘what grade is that paragraph?’ It isn’t a grade- it’s a paragraph. #EducatingNorthants

NO ‘the line, the quote, the word.’ Live model this down to KS3 to kick this habit- key to elevate academic writing. #EducatingNorthants

love this idea! Anyone fancy reading some bedtime stories for our students to watch? @KBuccleuchA @KBAEnglish
This elementary school principal reads books on Facebook to ensure her students have a bedtime story... “Anything I can do to build relationships,” she said. “If a child feels loved they will try. There’s no science about it.” #Development #Connection washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

There’s around 35 of these AQA style Lang P2 Q5 writing tasks, spanning the range of forms and purposes. Hope they’re useful dropbox.com/sh/3b0how0hz36st…

Be interested to get a couple more opinions on this. I think we need to be careful talking about Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's dead children. To a 2019 audience, parental grief might seem like it would be the defining aspect of their relationship. 1/
