Thanks Sam. We’ve used the webinar quite extensively in our teaching!

This first batch of Y12 marking is done in depth, no grade, SPAG corrected, and notes added to our internal spreadsheet
Becomes a useful ref for later work and helps flag any immediate issues. Also low stakes for pupils and nothing dull about exam technique apart from answering the *actual* question

We’re hoping this then serves as a backbone/resource bank for revision into Y13.

Yep moving to this next year. For every hour of ‘homework’ we’re going to expect an hour of ‘independent study’

For each topic I have list of 6 readings (scans from books/ websites), 6 watch (podcast/video) and 3 written tasks (flash cards, notes, essays). Students choose one of the 15 options

Wonderful. Their ultra random Bayeaux Tapestry blew me away when I visited years ago.

Fab. I will pass this on to my trainee, but wanted to clarify.

He’s about to something on Japanese history which I think could fit the brief

A joy to attend Edd. Thanks so much for the chance to attend and present.

I do think events like this will matter in future, informal, open hearted and generous.

And long live the essay!
