I’m clearing my mums house, if anyone loves a dolls house, there will be some things appearing soon… www.ebay.co.uk/itm/35646730...

My blog looks a bit odd now m not paying for the whizzy stuff and seems to have lost its Search button, still this series of video textual analysis of Macbeth still seem to work #macbeth #closeanalysis #snowday jwpblog.wordpress.com/2021/09/06/d...

Evening all , been a while… Just done a mock Oxbridge interview for a very impressive student . Lovely to be reminded of the passion and excitement of a strong U6 student. Been retired for so long, I’d forgotten… #olddog

I made a point of writing unseen responses in the same time and conditions as my students- this post remains one of the most visited jwpblog.com/2022/03/11/a...

Excellent post- there are no short cuts for quality teaching

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...

If anyone has the chance to see #Oliver! at #chichesterfestivaltheatre before term starts, Go! It is magnificent.

As the blog bears the end of its premium features- another blast from the past. 1: this for #litdrive jwpblog.com/2021/07/03/w...

Favourite blog posts in no order: the intertextuality of Gatsby and Puccini… you can take the man out of the opera house… jwpblog.com/2020/04/30/g...

Another 10 blog posts- 6 days to go… 1: context of creation of AIC lecture jwpblog.com/2017/10/24/p...

Dip into this thread if you’ve a moment- my next ‘top 10 blogs’… 8 days to go

As a distraction from results, another dose of 10 fav posts from my blog. The premium features will drop off at the end of the month, unless someone wants to take it over and take it forward… www.jwpblog.com

On this results day in 2014 I left one school and moved on. This was my last blog post to my y11s jwpblog.com/2014/08/21/a... Hope it chimes a chord!

My blog top10 day 1… 9 days to go. 1: jwpblog.com?s=Drop+into+... These videos will not be available once we lose the premium but they are on Loom… whole play annotated and discussed with visualiser

#edusky do your magic here. I’d love to know this has gone to a good home.

Serious question. I am stopping my blog curation at the end of the month. It will exist but lose the premium features like videos which aren’t supported. If anyone would like to take over ‘ownership’ and make it fit for another 15 years and another 2 million+ views, www.jwpblog.com DM ME

Another gem

I love exploring the musical effects of meter in poetry… in this blog post I look at Heaney… others follow. jwpblog.com/2019/07/24/f...

I’ve been a bit quiet - we had my son’s wedding over the weekend… definitely not edu.

This old post seems apposite at the moment… jwpblog.com/2014/08/18/r...

Does anyone have a copy of the bicycle of pedagogic approaches? Was it @drchendrick.bsky.social who created that gem.

Another in the top 10

A blogging memory- I enjoyed this one and, as usual, blogging helped me to focus my thought processes… jwpblog.com/2011/12/30/t...

This us great… got me thınking

My blog memory today is a stimulus piece I wrote for my U6 to discuss and respond to- one of many on Gatsby - a much-loved book which I loathe. jwpblog.com/2018/07/24/g...

Giving this a one week trial. Very much up for getting off the Musk platform! Give me a follow and a repost!

A personal blog during lockdown… reflections on a father and a teacher: jwpblog.com/2020/07/08/p...

Missed this the first time- must have been working! Excellent post which is part of a wider issue regarding the fall in respect for the teaching profession across society as a whole. I worked flat putt in lockdown1&2 teaching all lessons on Teams and prepping tons of video support. Knackering.

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...

Good luck tomorrow. Results day can be both brilliant and unbelievably hard. I don’t miss it. Good luck all.

I’m enjoying #bluesky and all the #edu contacts. Very good humored atm… reminiscent of twitter c2011 when I joined. Thank you all for making me welcome.

10 years ago, my thoughts on moving to be an HOD. jwpblog.com/2014/07/19/m...

I loved doing these visualiser annotations to support #Macbeth students, especially if distance learning… jwpblog.com?s=Drop+into+...

Gosh, in 2016 I was angered by the dog whistle criticism of #micaela… god knows what I might have written today. Stop Press: Season of Goodwill cancelled! I have not known a time like this - on Twitter. jwpblog.com/2016/12/15/s...

The last maudlin reflection on my blog for today is a post which tries to explore the relevance or otherwise of AIC and suggests it is time for him to hang up his coat… GCSE Lit: Issues of Context. Time for the Inspector to fetch his coat? … jwpblog.com/2023/10/07/g...

Browsing on my blog in its last weeks- this seems relevant to the #Bluesky exodus. Written in 2014 after 3 years on #twitter, it highlights what might have been and hopes for this new place jwpblog.com/2014/03/28/t...

Only 3 weeks or so of my blog before I stop curating and dropping my domain… English teachers and others can dig in and take all you wish… Www.jwpblog.com Enjoy- and thanks for all the fish…

First #bluesky post. Coming over from #X in search of the sort of edu content which put me onto SM in the first place. Who’s here? And who is MrPeel in this world?
