A year and a half in the making. Countless hours. And many, many early mornings. And now, finally, here it is. My very first book, all about teaching English Literature. I am beyond excited to share it with you. Out November 16th!!!
Updated plot maps for 2024/25 (originally inspired by @__codexterous). Handy for retrieval/revision, but also VERY versatile for use in class activities! Open to suggestions re. some of the images for the new texts! #EdChatIE
We're at the point of the year where these plot maps earn their space on the classroom wall. Super-handy & endlessly adaptable for quick revision of the Junior Cycle & Leaving Cert English texts. #EdChatIE
@__codexterous - I loved reading this fantastic book. A must-read for English language and literature teachers. So much to learn and gleam.

Adapting @__codexterous ‘margin’ idea: using it backwards with our dept writing frame. Hoping to help my Y10 see how & WHERE writing a lit essay is successful giving a scaffold they can use in revision ahead of their mocks. Their recall is fab so want to maximise writing gains.
