EnglishGCSE.co.uk worked as educational consultants to create new English Literature interactive quizzes and learning journey's for BBC Bitesize.
As teachers we can sometimes get so focussed on every other aspect of teaching that we sometimes forget to see the classroom environments we create for our students to learn within. However, put yourself into your students’ shoes: Is the classroom you are working in inviting and settling? Are your displays interesting, engaging and interactive? Would the walls around put you in the right frame of mind for some serious learning?
Structure seems to be a term that baffles both teachers and students alike. In recent weeks I've seen social media posts from educators asking for help or guidance on how best to approach this area and what is specifically covered under 'structure'.
The newest Macbeth film is the latest in a long line of film and TV adaptations of one of Shakespeare's darkest and most haunting plays, but it offers a clarity of vision and purpose that will prove invaluable to both teachers and students.
I love teaching Shakespeare. Whether it's re-exploring Macbeth for the hundredth year in succession or delving in and out of Henry V, I just enjoy sharing the characters, the plot, the language and the worlds of these wonderful texts.
