I’m VERY excited to show you the back cover of Speak Now (my version) including the vault tracks and collaborations with Hayley Williams from @paramore and @falloutboy. Since Speak Now was all about my songwriting, I decided to go to the artists who I feel influenced me most powerfully as a lyricist at that time and ask them to sing on the album. They’re so cool and generous for agreeing to support my version of Speak Now. I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and can’t wait to unveil it all to you on July 7th. store.taylorswift.com 📷: Beth Garrabrant

I’ve made this one stop shop for how to write a literature essay. I tried to make it easy by using memorable ‘formulas’. I have used Macbeth but the focus is the skills/methods, so it can be used regardless of the text. Feel free to use - bit.ly/3g0uNhb @Team_English1

A plea for help: does anyone have any ideas for Y6 taster sessions for English? We need a refresh and I’m wondering if anyone has used anything that’s worked really well. We will have them for approx. 50 minutes-an hour. Really grateful for any help 🙏 #teamenglish @Team_English1

English assessment at KS3/4 - when is the first time your pupils produce a full essay (including intro and conclusion) in assessment conditions? What assessment styles do you use until that point? #teamenglish @Team_English1

Working in a school is great. You laugh. Every. Single. Day. Not just some days, every single day you go to work. Not many jobs can say that.

Would anybody be willing to share any resources for Lord of the Flies and/or The Crucible at KS3? I would be eternally grateful #backtoschoolblues @Team_English1 #teamenglish

Roughly once a week, someone on here asks for behaviour advice. Roughly once a week, there is a deluge of bad behaviour advice in response. Generally four categories: 1. So woolly as to be meaningless 2. A waste of time 3. Actively damaging 4. Impossible stuff Examples below:

Planning to create a ‘poetry wall’ with my classes, whereby they all add their own favourite lines from poems or songs. What would be your favourite lines of all time? @Team_English1 #teamenglish

Is there anyone who teaches a unit on poetry with a focus on identity and culture and would be willing to share the poems they have chosen to include? Planning a unit for Y8 and very grateful for any input ☺️ @Team_English1 #teamenglish

Does anyone teach ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ at A Level and have any resources or expertise they’d be willing to share? I’m about to start it for the first time and would be very grateful for any extra insights! @Team_English1 #teamenglish
