Finding new authors
From word of mouth, or through online communities, will find recommendations for books far more effectively than prescribed lists. My Feedly read this morning suggested this website that allows you, in the style of the visual thesaurus, to find new authors based on...
Using Total War in the classroom (history/English collaboration)
I have always been a bit of a war buff, and a fan of now-defunct series like Time Commander that required several people to refight battles of the classical era. I think that it would have been, at the last, something to inspire creative writing rather than an...
Zen Questions
Another to-do-lister that didn't make if off the shelf: here is a story with some questions written by one of my students. They have since begun to solicit writing from writers - their intellectual confidence (and humility) is impressive. As I might have blogged...
Personality Profile
As the year nears an end, work changes. Preparation ramps up and loose ends are tied (where possible.) One item that has resided on my to-do list for too long is the following: a personality profile that is generic. I'm going to release this to a class (with names)...
Being a Male English teacher
Last week I entertained a York NQT for five days as part of his professional enrichment. Alongside my classroom, he took it upon himself to experience drama and PE. As a male English teacher, he made some excellent points of how his gender may, or may not, affect his...
Teaching and Results
I should really be in my car to school, but I live so near for a purpose. I ask a few questions this morning in response to the notion that the UK might follow USA models of teaching. Is it possible to be an outstanding teacher, and yet for your students to not...
Typos – If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing badly
One of the hardest things for a student to do, I think, is to check through recently completed work. There is always the sense, particularly with someone arduous or transitory, to simply leave it and move onto something new. Yet this week I have seen some shocking...
Female or Male Writers?
I am a male English teacher. On my universe course of a 100 or so undergraduates, I was one of a dozen men. On my teacher training course, I was on of two (that made it.) And for my A-Levels, I was the only male (who took psychology, at least!) It seems the teaching...
Mr V.
It is my great sadness that we have yet to analyse this speech: Hope… I’m sorry but I don’t want to be an Emperor – that’s not my business – I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We...
In the best interests of our students?
Recently I have been concerned about what in my teaching practice really is in the best interest of the students. While we support students the best we can with a firm hand, I must admit that over the past few years I have felt that I have perhaps supported students...
