‘The Trouble with English’ by Sam Gibbs & @z_helman was a big help when trying to condense down the subject concepts I think KS3 students needed to grasp, rather than just thinking they’ve learned about separate texts. Here are the first 3 of 5 subject knowledge posters I made:

Thank you for a beautiful Tuesday evening @britishlibrary as I joined online to watch @davcr and @bencrystal 's wonderful new book event #EverydayShakespeare . It felt like I was there, even though I was miles away in the NorthEast. Inspired my teaching of year 10 today!
This is so interesting!
Interested in the craft of writing?
Then do read our paper on this tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… Drawing on the craftsmanship of professional writers @Mini_Stories @WritingRocks_17 @TheWritingWeb @NaweWriters @kashleyenglish @StephanieHilde6

This, again! It really is so, so good. Every English teacher should watch it…and share with A Level students, or GCSE students wondering whether to continue with English. Watch this and they will!
If you've not yet watched this interview with @malachimcintosh, you really must! And then show it to your A Level students for a really zingy start to the new half term! It's aimed at them & it's an inspiring, highly informative, eye-opening 20 mins. englishandmedia.co.uk/video-…

Apologies for a rather predictable topic for this weekend's blog post. However this actually has nothing to do with current events, and everything to do with Macbeth, Malcolm & Macduff. amysmithliterature.wordpress…
Last chance tonight to see the amazing art trail 'Light at the End of the Tunnel' at Newcastle Cathedral. Beautiful, immersive and uplifting.
Spot on! You've put into words just how it feels💓

Another critical theory resource for Macbeth - this time looking at the 'If it were done' soliloquy, using a recent paper by Patrick J Murray. Feel free to RT, use, disregard! Last sheet in the next part of the thread!
