@helenpins.bsky.socialTutor: ‘Helen, I met you 4 hours ago and I could already tell you’d put yourself at that end of the line.’ Me: ‘Thanks. Royal Holloway made me.’

@helenpins.bsky.socialThis weekend’s job is early modern case study of Norwich (I chose it because of Kett’s Rebellion and knowing they had witch trials there)
@helenpins.bsky.socialI have been rewriting Crime and Punishment lessons using case studies of medieval Oxford to help hook students into the time period. I think it has worked (it has definitely made it more interesting to teach now it’s less abstract)
It’s hard work but I am enjoying it.
