@BLT19Project ...the universe of poetry and the different ranges of poetry, I reckon we should offer a similar range to secondary education so that there are different topics of poetry to choose from, so they don’t get bored of it; it’s a truly beautiful avenue of literature!

@BLT19Project Poetry is weird and wonderful! I’ve had many relationships with it. I remember in Year 4, our class were nominated to write a poem about saving the environment and the best ones were published in an anthology - the love of poetry spread because they were involving us... (1)

Colleagues - what do we think of this? A lot of our students hate poetry, we think because they were taught it badly and have come to associate the word with boredom. Comments? 'A dangerous first step': Simon Armitage among poets to blast GCSE decision theguardian.com/book…

Thank you! Yes the British Workman ilkustratiins are extraordinary- but online they are nothing compared to the paper versions. The folio size make them literlly shocking. We've just put a post up that mentions this haptic shock. blt19.co.uk/blt19-in… twitter.com/JBHist/s…

Hop picking in Kent was a much-needed holiday in the fresh air and a way to earn some extra cash. Here we have Nobby' Dewsett (the sailor) with the Audley and Dewsett families of Brunel Road, #Rotherhithe c.1940 Do you have any hop picking stories? #HBAHHols pic.twitter.com/7fhl…

Stuck at home? Have a look at our competition. Even if you aren't aged 12-18, you probably know someone who is. Why not get them to interview you about your work history and imagine what options you'd have had in Victorian times. blt19.co.uk/short-st… pic.twitter.com/fEME…
