#GCSEs #Macbeth
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
I'm so glad you think so, Emma! Really hope they might be useful for someone, or save some time somewhere 😊
I'm so pleased you think so! Thank you for reposting 😊
So glad you think so, Ben! We've definitely seen an impact on the students who use the canteen... even if it is a shared disdain at the rubbish jokes 😊
Oh fab! Really pleased you think so! A lot of our teachers hang around - particularly for the joke punchline - so not just fun for the students in this case 😀. Glad you think they might be useful in your setting.
Thank YOU for reposting, Amjad!
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

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… 👇
Absolutely adore this book. Still think about it often!
I think Stu’s post (post? I don’t know what we call it here!) will get you some great people, but if you search for the tag #edusky it’s packed full of awesome people. I’ve also looked at the following list of people I admire and pinched some ideas from there, too ☺️
@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...
Not at all; you’re such an expert. I learn an abundance of good stuff from you!!
