Today a year seven student referenced 'Not waving, but drowning' in a piece of creative writing. Unprompted. 🤯
Lovely 🍂

I like this a lot. I feel too many English teachers still stick to what they know (particularly at ks4) I'd like to see more variation!
Hi! 🐈⬛
Interesting. I think vocabulary is the biggest barrier to my pupil's perceived belief that they don't understand Jekyll & Hyde.
Looks fantastic 😍

I have not quite sussed out how to use this app properly but OMAM is trending on twitter and I can't deal with the oblivious (non-educators) commenting. Just nope. It was removed from the GCSE curriculum for being American- but that doesn't suit their narrative!
Oasis playing Heaton Park is alllllll about the money.
It doesn't sound twee at all. Just remember to be kind to yourself too! I'm a fan of the trip CBD drinks instead of a wine
I love a train trip, but it infuriates me that the MCR- LDN service is dismally worse than it used to be. It shouldn't take nearly 40 minutes longer than it used to!
This one!
This is so interesting. It's not literature, but I read a brief history of walking recently, and the need for meandering stood out to me (I'm a slow walker!). In literature, I must think of Lizzie Bennett's trip to Netherfield!
My favourite time of year are these coming back.
This is superb! So accurate 🤣
Bloody hell this is good. Harrowing. And she certainly has a strong story to tell about the “pens debate”! Still only halfway - what an absorbing read.
Over the last ten years , there have been numerous people I admired who were revealed to be a bit or a lot URGH - but I have never found myself without books to read or art to love because the space made by losing them is filled by new voices and creations who have often given greater delight
Why is it always autumnal after results day? 🍁🌰🍄 It's as if the weather decides to help acclimatise us into going back to work!
Results day is always an emotional one. Very proud of my students today (and most days!)
Excellent blog on reading a complex text (using a geography example) to exemplify a helpful disciplinary literacy approach by @jdurran.bsky.social
