🔗 Useful link 🔗 “Efficiency is a problem that’s hidden in English...” How do we move students beyond plot recall and technique-spotting to something deeper? This powerful read from Chris Curtis reframes how we teach authorial intent. Read now: buff.ly/2h0jpRs #LitdriveCPD

Here’s a blog I wrote ages ago using CLiC fiction. It’s on servants and doors in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and how servants’ agency could symbolise a class-based fear of transition from one social class to another. blog.bham.ac.uk/clic-dickens/2…

Another example. This time part of the GCSE 1964 English Language Ordinary Level. What a soulless way to read a poem! Plus, I’d love to read the mark scheme.
