In this film, writer Kate Clanchy uses Edip Cansever's poem 'The Table', translated by Richard Tillinghast, to inspire pupils to create their own poems. The activity works well with both native speakers of English and pupils who have recently learnt English.
Listened to @KateClanchy1‘s Poetry activities for schools: The Table by Edip Cansever ripped from YouTube. Which is great. Kate Clanchy uses poem ‘The Table’ to inspire pupils to create their own poems. Loved the poem and read to my class this morning.
I found the Castro Podcast Player sideload function rips youtube to audio, saves that to a m4a in your iCloud/Castro folder and then you can then add it to your Queue. A nice alternative to huffduff-video.

What stood out was that although Doctorow had support from a number of people his development involved keeping on going.
Thanks for sharing this Aaron, there are not many examples of successful people acknowledging the help they had on the way to that success. This brings some well needed reality to the idea of a meritocracy. Mr Doctorow does this beautifully.
We could cut global CO2 emissions, and non-travellers could sell theirs to frequent flyers, argues the data journalist
This is brilliant, I’d vote for it in a second:

First week back...how’s was yours? Would love to hear others thoughts on their return to school
I am in a good place, my class all pupils I taught last year, gone from a 4-7 multi-composite to 6-7 will cut down planning & prep. Having emptied the room before summer means I can’t find the duct tape and am missing my cardboard mountain. Mask on when I move about the room.
