✨ Midsummer scheme of work update - here is an activity from my new lesson on developing pupils' interpretation skills. Interpretation helps students think critically, explore perspectives, and connect with deeper meanings - tentative language is really helpful here. #igcse

@Toriaclaire Good morning #TinyVoiceTuesdayUnites . I’m a secondary English teacher and am very passionate about teaching and learning and I’m always looking for new ideas to try out! I currently teach internationally but taught in the UK for 11 years before making the move overseas. 👋🏻

So happy to be back planning again! Working on my next SoW for #purplehibiscus for #cie #igcse Starting off by embedding the skills for independent understanding and interpretation rather than overloading with context in L1 📖 #adiche

@deputygrocott Hello, I’m a secondary English teacher of 14 years. I spent a long time in UK but am now teaching in an international school. Today’s task is to finish some Literature lesson planning but the rain is failing to motivate me! Happy #FFBWednesday

Pupils loved pretending they were in a gallery by filling in these ‘gallery’ cards on posters their peers created. A fun way of peer assessing. Link to gallery cards: @LitdriveUK @TeamEngOverseas @Team_English1 @ITTteamenglish

I have also included academic phrases and sentence stems to help with sophistication of expression.

Resource to help GCSE pupils to develop their analysis. Can be glued into books or used as a poster! I find that considering the ‘depth’ of layers helps my pupils to think about a quotation in detail rather than making a superficial comment and then moving on. Download link👇

I had great responses today from my ‘what how why’ marking feedback sheets. Pupils responded by addressing their target task and re-drafting. Link to resource: @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK @TeamEngOverseas @EnglishWales

I’ve been teaching a lot of poetry recently and producing online lessons has forced me to think about how to ‘teach’ poetry rather than ‘tell’ poetry. I’ve included some of my ideas and best lesson examples in my blog: @Team_English1

Please use the new link for this resource - I’m not sure what happened to the previous link but it seems to have been corrupted. Apologies 😌

I created a skills mountain for lit analysis. Can be used for marking, a self assessment tool, or as a supporting resource in lesson. It can also be used to track progress by adding dates to each skill. Free download - A4 or A5: @Team_English1 #teamenglish
