"Keep loving teaching. Keep being creative."
Well, it might seem like madness to you and, indeed, to myself much of the time but it’s fair to say that I love teaching.
What I seek to keep at the heart of my blog & resources, and in my own heart of hearts, is a passion. A passion for learning in myself and my students.
A passion for my subject: English.
Led by principles from 'The Learning Scientist'.

AQA GCSE students will benefit from these example unseen poetry questions using the latest question format (May 2019).
These poems would be useful as stretch activities for more able students, although it would be possible to run through these as class activities for less able students.
For students who are just coming across unseen poetry for the first time, it would be useful to run through question one and poem one separately, before focusing on language comparison and poem two.
Students approaching the exam could do this as a timed practice or it could be set as cover.
Additionally, the formatting and layout has been influenced by ‘The Learning Scientist’ and their principles on how to make resources most accessible.
Difficult words are translated and there is some planning space provided.
