When I start teaching unseen poetry, I almost always start with the wonderful 'Ode to Simon Armitage'. I love it's message, and how well the students engage with it. I turned this into a one-pager for a lesson on Friday - with many thanks to @SPryke2 for many of the approaches! tiny.cc/axe1001

This week, An Inspector Called. A long awaited visit, but a thorough, affirming and hugely collegiate two days! Now very much ready for the weekend and a good long rest!

In the Hall at lunchtime we display a PPT: school events, clubs, news, weather etc. We also show things to prompt convos - dingbats, jokes, facts... I'm sharing 100 days' worth here in case they are of use to anyone else! Please feel free to use/ chuck/ change! tinyurl.com/ae6p2r7c

Can’t quite believe that our book is number one currently as a Hot New Release on Amazon. @hugheshaili.bsky.social @spryke2.bsky.social @teachals.bsky.social. I have never been more proud. 💙🥳📚

Our next set of ‘Ready to Teach’ books are underway, including our first for A Level! Released across 2025 and 2026 🤩 @teachals.bsky.social @hugheshaili.bsky.social @miriamhussain.bsky.social @xris32.bsky.social

The next four in our ‘Ready to Teach’ series are underway, including our first companion for an A Level text! These will be released across 2025 and 2026, and we are SO excited! @spryke2.bsky.social 🤩🤩🤩

Honestly, I'm prouder of RTT An Inspector Calls than I've ever been of anything I think I've ever done. Every chapter is 20k words more or less though 🫠 @spryke2.bsky.social and @teachals.bsky.social you have your work cut out for you with editing 🤣 loving working with @miriamhussain.bsky.social

I’m excited to be returning to it this year! I thoroughly recommend this book to dive in to the wonderful novella that it is! @spryke2.bsky.social @teachals.bsky.social

In the canteen, we display a rolling PPT: things that have happened in school, club timetables, news, weather etc. Great for culture! We also show things to prompt convos - dingbats, jokes, facts... I'm sharing the first 50 days here in case they are of use to anyone else! tinyurl.com/canteenICS

My first BlueSky resource share! A new booklet designed to help students with considering quotations from the literature texts. As always… use/chuck/change as you see fit! @teamenglish1.bsky.social www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/eimu1...

Hello edu-Bluesky! 👋 For those of you thinking about what’s coming up this week, here’s a thread I wrote last year about GCSE results data… This is an overview of what I do when I get my data in… 👇

@attideputy.bsky.social 👋👋👋 Hey!!

@abetts.bsky.social Ashley! You’re here! Hello!

I’m rewriting our appraisal policy. If anyone can signpost great practice in other schools/Trusts and blogs/research I’d be really grateful 🙏🏻

Here’s another old blog of mine. This is my most read and was originally published during lockdown. Lots of people engaged with it positively at the time and lots hated it. Was just rereading and reflecting. Does some of this still chime true? englishteachersnotebook.blogspot.com/2020/05/teac...

On holiday on Greece but got a new SoW to plan so look what has come with me @spryke2.bsky.social @teachals.bsky.social Took me half a kilo over my weight allowance too

Over 70 #TeamEnglish peeps on the list now. Check if you are there and reply to the thread if you are not and you want to be added. Anyone with an interest in English teaching is welcome. And please repost and follow as many posters as possible so we can build this network. #EduSky

My first post! I’m bringing across the Dropbox should anyone like to use any resources in here! They need a bit of tweaking now but might act as a good starting point: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rize2...
