Playing around with AI to create some guided reading resources for the ‘Power and Conflict’ anthology in the style of @SPBeale’s history template. The essays need a bit of editing but they may be of use for Year 10/11. Use/chuck/change as you see fit!

NEW ‘Power and Conflict - The Interpretations’ revision booklet. I always get students to consider 3 interpretations of each poem & ask them to consider which they agree with the most. Great springboard for debate/new ideas. I’ve collated these into a booklet here 👇🏻

Extremely proud of my friend @abetts.bsky.social who has had an article published in TeachWire this month! Superb piece and a great read for music specialists and non-specialists alike! 😊

I’m late to the party with this one but THIS BOOK. I’m only 25% of the way through and it is so good. One of those novels that becomes your entire personality - when I’m reading it, I’m immersed and when I’m not reading it, it’s all I’m thinking about. Superb!

NEW RESOURCE - Session 2 of my ‘Essay Series’ resources now uploaded. This one focuses on constructing the first point of an essay out of a thesis statement. As always, use/chuck/change! More to come soon. @teamenglish1.bsky.social

Wishing everyone a happy and successful start to the new academic year. A new chapter full of possibilities! 😁

I really like this idea from @MrRobHistory on Twitter. I’m going to try it with some of my students in English for the literature texts. Great to see how one idea can be utilised across different subjects. Thanks, Derrick! @teamenglish1.bsky.social
