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!

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

Missed this the first time- must have been working! Excellent post which is part of a wider issue regarding the fall in respect for the teaching profession across society as a whole. I worked flat putt in lockdown1&2 teaching all lessons on Teams and prepping tons of video support. Knackering.

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...
