Thermals on, waterproofs to follow. A week of teaching nonsense poetry in a cold damp forest commences.

Love this. ‘Queue’ is from the French word with the same spelling (but pronounced as ‘kuh’) meaning an animal’s long tail. In the 18th and 19th centuries it also referred to a pigtail and was sometimes spelled as ‘cue’, which gave us the name of the long thin rod used in snooker.

I'm getting back to teaching on Outschool a few hours a week. I'm running very small-group online Story Mentoring with some of my old students, who are now aged 9-13. I've been away from online educating for a whole year, but this idea really excited me - a bespoke dynamic curric of tales!

Yes, very similar! I found a lot in charity shops but definitely cleared out the library for these.

Well there's two more for my Christmas list. The Lear one looks especially interesting. I know nothing of his life story and would be v interested. I like the lives of nonsense poets (or those who might justifiably be labelled as such).

I devoured these Point Horror and the Point Crime books when I was around 9-12. They were pretty brutal.

That's it. I certainly don't think it's his best writing, but it just landed right as an undergraduate on the same streets he was describing. How about you, Mat?

Jonny Walker @jonny-walker.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Sure, Mat. First one, it was a real love of Isherwood’s work (Lions and Shadows, when read at the right time, was affecting) and a curiosity about a book of poetry he wrote whilst working as a tutor. The kid did the illustrations. Old Gods, New Tricks - looking for good new myth recommends for ch

This is so helpful, thanks! Me?! I’m an educational author of 18 children’s books with Collins, Scholastic and OUP, mostly about mythology and weird nature. My WIP is a MG fiction blend of Get Out mixed with Stand By Me and Raymie Nightingale 😂

I did a TEDx talk about how we interact. It’ll be out soon. It’s titled: Hush now, adults… the children are talking More than anything that may or may not result from it being out in the world, it’s been *so* impactful to have had to condense what I care about into something concise.

We didn’t realise at the time that we would be the last week of students hosted at the college. Schumacher College left its mark on me indelibly, and the decision was made to close it during our stay. It’s a unique place of learning and I look forward to its rebirth in some form.
