- The clickety-clacking of cassettes, videos and their respective players. - The whistle of a kettle. Do kettles whistle any more?.
What are the sounds of past generations that we won't hear again?😃. I'll start. That mechanical double-clunk as the librarian stamps your books with the return date and which echoes in the silence . .

This is amazing.
Imagine being an English teacher in London for the day and casually spotting John Agard outside the coffee shop you’re in! . Such a lovely guy, chats were had!

Terribly sad news about Allan Ahlberg. A giant in children's literacy and family life. The contribution of these authors and illustrators is wildly underappreciated.
Goes without saying that "Peepo" by Janet and Allan Ahlberg is the unsurpassed masterpiece of baby and toddler literature, and if you can get to the end without choking up then you're doing better than me.

Hmmm. Graphic novels are not regular novels that happen to have pictures instead of prose. They're stories told through an interplay of words and imagery. Why is that visual language essential for the English curriculum, and where is the subject knowledge coming from?

Yep. You want meaningful writing done, it needs to be in class. Also someone -- Lemov? Hochman? -- wrote that since writing is the hardest part of the process you should be doing it in class anyway.
I have to admit that I'm starting to see less and less value in any assessments (narrator: essays) taking place outside of the classroom. Will this force me to adjust as a teacher? Yep. But I think it has to happen.
