I have been experimenting with I / We / You more this year, and continue to be impressed by it to support developing writing.

A strategy for DO NOWs in English.
Here's how I turn Do Nows into puzzles. These are great fun and really make students think.
Maybe something to introduce this academic year! PLUS lots of examples and templates.

Useful thoughts on making love modelling more effective, as always.
📕 POST! 📕

What should students be *doing* when you're live modelling?
