We'd love to hear from a few more Yr 12 pupils for our The Quotation Bank English Essay Prize, in partnership with University College, Oxford. Year 11 entries are pouring in, but Year 12 seem a little more reticent! All details are here, with amazing prizes! thequotationbank.co.uk/yr-11-%26-yr...

With educator Erin Shadowens' sentence stems, deeper engagement starts with the right question!

Chart titled "Question Stems for the Critical Thinking Framework." On the left are five themes: "Say it in your own words," "Break it down," "Look for structure," " Notice gaps and inconsistencies" and "Reason with evidence." On the right are corresponding question stems for each theme.

Enter Horatio and Marcellus: what's going on, Hamlet? #InkyCloak #SlowShakespeare www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/slo... For a residually snowy (or just wet and blowy) Monday: Jude Law as Hamlet at the Donmar, 2009, dir. Michael Grandage. Probably not this scene, but he does have his notebook...

A photograph of a play in performance. A young man wearing dark, casual clothing with bare feet sits on the ground against a rough stone wall, his ankles crossed. He is speaking, and has a small notebook in his right hand. It appears as if he is sitting on snowy ground, and that snow is falling.

🌟Macbeth vocabulary resource🌟 I put together some activities to reinforce the key words I use again and again when teaching Macbeth. This is not by any means a conclusive list, but these are words that I return to a lot!
