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!

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!
