I have had lots of teachers asking me if they can use my children’s stories to make online videos for their pupils. Normally you have to get the author’s permission but please feel free to do whatever you like with my books at this time. Use them at toilet paper if that helps. x

Looking back over my Yr 11 poetry anthologies and although their notes are fantastic, I’m wondering how students are going to revise from them. Inspired by @MissMFrost’s flipbooks, I’ve created a ‘Key Points’ page that will hopefully help them order their ideas. @Team_English1

Thank you to whoever shared this resource! I’ve been trying to push my students to reference other emotions in their GCSE answers apart from ‘shock’ and this really helped them to track the feelings of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth through the play. @Team_English1

Teachers are pretty amazing. Few people realise the energy and resilience required for 30 children in a confined space for 30 hours a week.

If your GCSE English Literature students are studying Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and get the characters mixed up, this animated song from #BBCSchoolRadio should help! 😉 👉 bbc.in/2z4wktU
