Neil Davenport has written a letter of liberty with Academy of Ideas about the closure of pubs in the UK. How does this affect society in ways other than finding a place to drink alcohol?
For the next episode, I will discuss this with him in more depth.
Next Tuesday at 7pm BST.
Team English Does anyone have any SOW/booklets/resources etc for The Giver and/or The Graveyard Book which they'd be willing to share to give me a bit of a head start?! Thank you in advance 💗
🌟Poetry revision🌟
I have been revising love and relationships poetry.
So, what has worked well?🧵
The goal of revision is fluent and flexible knowledge. I don’t want knowledge too rigid, rather it should bend to adapt to the focus of an essay task. 1/11
