Had a “pause” starter with my Yr11s today.
Always helpful to pause and reflect on pupils’ voices

A strategy that I presented to my department today, which I have been focusing on to build Reading Fluency with KS3 is through the acronym - ACT
Emphasis on reading in role/character allows pupils to read with greater prosody and accuracy.

Moving forward with mock feedback I created a ‘walkthrough booklet’ to support pupils’ understanding of the skills needed in order to answer Language Paper One’s questions better:
- Based on the 2023 AQA Language Paper 1 exam of Martel’s Life of Pi -

With Language there’s always the “how do you even revise it?” question as pupils compare it to Literature revision.
The answer is simple.
Analyse a range of texts + develop your writing skills
To support this I created a Language Paper 1 questions pack for my Yr11 class:

It’s that time for revisiting Poetry (power+ conflict) with Yr11

Marking my Yr11 mocks and Q3 for Language Paper One is always a weakness.

I find teaching Duffy’s Valentine a great poem to engage pupils immediately.
Erase any words in the poem which mention “onion” and allow pupils to guess what the ‘romantic’ present is!
Help please: what is your favourite poem to teach? I'm starting poetry with my y10 class tomorrow and I never seem to nail the first lesson. I want to get them hooked!
