When I start teaching unseen poetry, I almost always start with the wonderful 'Ode to Simon Armitage'. I love it's message, and how well the students engage with it. I turned this into a one-pager for a lesson on Friday - with many thanks to @SPryke2 for many of the approaches! tiny.cc/axe1001

This week, An Inspector Called. A long awaited visit, but a thorough, affirming and hugely collegiate two days! Now very much ready for the weekend and a good long rest!

Honestly, I'm prouder of RTT An Inspector Calls than I've ever been of anything I think I've ever done. Every chapter is 20k words more or less though 🫠 @spryke2.bsky.social and @teachals.bsky.social you have your work cut out for you with editing 🤣 loving working with @miriamhussain.bsky.social
