Eduqas teachers! What are our Lit predictions for C1/C2? For poetry I think nature or passage of time. What do you all think? I predicted ‘place’ last year… unlikely to get two in a row! @BookwormPoppins @Lit_liverbird @LadyPerinbridge @HWimbushEnglish

Starting Othello with Y10 next week. How do you all introduce Shakespeare to your GCSE classes? Plot overview? Cold read? Watch a Globe version? Context? Just start reading? Interested to hear the benefits of different approaches @Team_English1 RT pls.
‘Would you like an opportunity to deprive the children in your school of their fundamental rights to a good education, in order to give your own salary a below-inflation mediocre boost? If so, vote yes!’
Grim.
Setting out the offer to unions, education sec @GillianKeegan said schools will receive additional funding just for the £1k payment & 0.5% of the 2023/24 4.5% pay rise
But leaders are already saying they will not be able to fund such a rise without yet more cuts to resources
Creating a Poetry SOW for Y9 focused on place/identity & want to include some modern/diverse poems. I have classics from Imtiaz Dharker, Langston Hughes, Grace Nicholls, but anymore from the last 10 years?Suggestions? Retweet, pls. @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK

If you had to narrow down teaching Macbeth to 10 key scenes (not saying this is advisable!), which scenes would you choose? #TeamEnglish @__codexterous @FunkyPedagogy @GCSE_Macbeth @mrs_denglish @litfanatic @LitdriveUK

‘Mercurial’ means volatile or inconsistent. Do better @btsportfootball
No other player in Ligue 1 has scored at least 10 goals in 6 consecutive seasons ⚽️

What strategies do people use for teaching mixed ability English (KS3/KS4)? It is a challenge to differentiate support and teach to the top all the time! How do you do all do it? #ECT #TeamEnglish @MrTs_NQTs @__codexterous @HoDandHeart @LitdriveUK
I’ve found it - the worst take of all time.
Israelis & Palestinians kill each other over which Sky God they pretend to speak to and it's politically incorrect to point out there is no Human God, let alone one that favors Jews or Muslims. All this violence over the equivalent of which character they like better in the MCU.
“I take care of my kids,” “I’ve never been to jail.” It’s a sign of how bad things are when what is simply ‘expected’ becomes ‘reassuring’ or worthy of praise.
There is something reassuring to come out of the PM/Health Sec having #covid19- the fact that we know they have it. Not all states would be (probably have been) honest about it.

Would like to see this brought in as an interdisciplinary core module @sarah_mac_witer
I got Swine Flu at university, locked myself in my room for three days and read The Master and the Margarita hallucinating, properly banging experience.

An outtake from the never-ending series of ‘The UK.’
Do we want more players in the @PremierLeague from Brazil, Argentina or Africa compared to the EU? Or more English qualified players to strengthen the national team @FA? What would you rather see? The key opportunity of Brexit is that we will get to decide ⚽️
