There are lots of excellent GCSE English YouTubers: @MrBruffEnglish @DystopiaJunkie @staceyreay @happyteacherhub but I am proud of my Macbeth playlist and Power & Conflict videos. It's a good feeling to reach this milestone:

‘Clip sheets’ have become a staple for all Key stages. Closed questions to ensure key information is extracted, can be easily referred to after the lesson for revision and logistically a no brainer for cover. Simple but effective. #historyteacher ✅🎥

I would love to know what particular linguistic features identify Shakespeare, pinpoint Marlowe. Is our individual language usage as unique as our fingerprint?
David Fisher@The_Bardolater13h
The Shakespeare canon may not be quite as settled as we thought. New research identifies Shakespeare as the principal author of Edward III and Marlowe as his collaborator. The old rivals may have been partners after all. @loughnrv @MarloweProject 🎭 theguardian.com/culture/2026…

Scholars conclude ‘beyond doubt’ that Shakespeare was main author of Edward III

Exclusive: Play anonymously published in 1596 was collaboration between Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe, according to computer analysis

Today I joined @BradleyKBusch at @Inner_Drive HQ to record two podcasts based on my book, What Are They Thinking? One focused on mini whiteboards and the other on hinge questions. The first episode will be out in a couple of weeks! Thank you to Brad and the Inner Drive family.

Although many people see DI as only a fast paced call and response classroom approach, my book explores its approach to curriculum sequencing and design

This is well worth everyone’s time. As for the question of digital exams, the answer is simple and unequivocal; an emphatic no.

Two things make it hard to improve teaching. First, teaching itself is extremely hard. Second, helping teachers get better is harder still. My new book, Improving Teaching, is about that second problem. 🧵 link.amazon/B07tTXZU6

And here are 9 books which were a huge early influence for me, in my late teens.

Nine books to get you started if you're only just getting into classics (all different from Boze's incredible list). Of course, each individual reader will have his or her own taste and preferences, which is why I decided, like Boze, to have some variety and different periods.
