Unpredictable – a poem revisited.⤴
from Christine McIntosh @ blethers
I've finally got round to some revising - a poem I wrote in Vietnam, in the heat and humidity of our first days there, before I'd settled into accepting it all. I was put off by the comments of someone I'd considered a sympathetic critic - made the mistake of letting him see the raw first draft. However, re-reading it and changing the structure more than the content, I find it recreates the moment, the strangeness, the otherness. So here it is, more than I year after I first wrote it.
Unpredictable
The lawns of rice deceive the eye
until one sees unwillingly
the ditches and the depth
and something strange and out of place
like graves or shrines in centre-field
and recognises foreign-ness
as tangled in this alien world
as mats of green inexorably
drifting on the muddy tide, which
people eat, like snakes in wine
and scorpions, and spiders piled
in glistening heaps to tempt the eye.
And flowing round the air’s embrace
is heavy with the drifting smoke
of stubble burning in the fields
beyond the river’s parapet where
sunset comes before its hour.
A song comes from a hidden bank
and cattle, golden in the light
descend to drink and all is strange
and lushly vibrant in the dusk.

Nat5 dynamics & space revision notes⤴
from mrmackenzie
Here is a set of revision notes to help you prepare for the upcoming dynamics & space unit assessment. Ignore any references to specific heat capacity on pages 49 & 50 – we’ll cover that in another unit and it won’t be in your D&S test.

Spaced Revision | Improving Revision with Effective Techniques.⤴
from Jamie Davies
As we start to approach the exam session again, many students (and teachers) will be entering their favourite purveyor of stationary goods to arm themselves with all the tools that one could need to prepare for an exam: cue cards, revision books and, of course, highlighters. I have seen many students think that revisiting their notes […]
The #SillySeason by @TeacherToolkit⤴
from Ross Morrison McGill
It’s that time of the academic year that is known to some as, the ‘Silly Season‘. Context: Picture yourself 2 or 3 weeks ago before the Easter break … Just when you thought exhaustion couldn’t get any worse, despite a brief respite, you find yourself back at school with work ‘up-to-your-ears’. For the experienced teacher, … Continue reading 
Revision?⤴
from Amjad Ali
I am no expert! I am not basing these ideas of MINE on research/theories (that I have read) but on the data of students that I have taught and the outcomes they have achieved. (I guess, I have just figured these things out…) If you disagree, please do comment with how I can better my practice for the students I […]
