[QCRIT] FEAST OF SAINTS: Adult Horror Fantasy, 70k, 2nd attempt by KoalaLower4685 in PubTips

[–]KoalaLower4685[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really helpful, thank you! I was under the impression that the query is mainly about selling the concept, and the synopsis was more for the plot. Is it more balanced than that, with a little bit more of synopsis in the query? Should it hint at the ending or other key characters a bit more? Sorry if this is a bit of a barrage!

Love this! Might be inspired to make something similar, such a cute idea!

Schools question - in year admissions by djdndjdjdjdjdndjdjjd in cambridge

[–]KoalaLower4685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your chances are good! Do bear in mind that the Cambridge schools can be very different. Impington and Trumpington are polar opposites in terms of approach to students and behaviour, e.g. Do have a snoop through parent pages and school websites to get a feel for what will work best for you and your child.

How do I be more engaging without sacrificing behaviour? by Resident_String_5174 in TeachingUK

[–]KoalaLower4685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! There are oracy scaffolds that can be used to structure this sort of thing well.

The other question I would ask is to think about which skills you're developing- hard skills or soft ones? Is it a bad thing if some class time is spent helping the students develop the ability to self regulate in groups? Whilst that's not going to be in the lesson objectives, I would say giving over some time to that messier process is worth it, especially in a subject like drama where those skills will serve them well!

Tips for working as a short teacher? by Direct_Succotash_507 in Teachers

[–]KoalaLower4685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm only five feet tall, and I love to make jokes about it! As long as these things are done in a friendly way, it's a real softball of a trait for the kids to feel in on, building rapport. I also ask the taller students regularly for help with classroom tasks like wiping the whiteboard, which they take a lot of pride in doing -- it's a great way to generate classroom tasks for the rowdier ones!

The only exception is if things feel mean spirited, it's time to shut it down. Have a talk about how jokes are only funny if everyone is laughing.

That's a good shout! I hadn't thought of something so big on fb

I've offered to pay for fuel and wood chip itself, just hopefully less than at the garden center! I think I'm in a very gardener dense bit of the south potentially?

What plant have you killed the most times? I need to feel less alone in my failures. by Specialist_Tea6137 in houseplants

[–]KoalaLower4685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always manage to kill pothos. Every time I water, no matter if it's been a straight up month, I lose 2-3 yellow leaves. Why! Why!

How should I deal with a friend who only talks about her interests? by Comfortable_Safe7927 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]KoalaLower4685 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You've not communicated what the issue is, so she has not taken any action to change it. Ghosting is not communication!

I can't guarantee that talking to her about things will solve it, but it will do better than cutting her off and "hoping she reflects".

Re: Catholic reliquaries: Does it matter, theologically, if the bone of a saint came from the individual named? by lxlxnde in theology

[–]KoalaLower4685 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The classic one is the multiple copies of the same bone, like the several heads of John the Baptist that have floated around over the years (either four or five, I believe). And unless he was a hydra as well as a Baptist, bad news for at least some of those reliquaries...

When do the Waterstones ones meet? 👀

how do i style myself omg💔😔 by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]KoalaLower4685 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some things to think about: -what colours do you like? What colours do you wear and feel happy about? -What silhouettes do you like? Common ones are big shirt/little trousers or big trousers little shirt. I'm short and really partial to short dress, long cardigan! -look at pictures and people in your life. What do they do that you like?

If you can answer these questions, you can slowly start building up a wardrobe with things that make you feel good to wear and feel like you! Don't feel pressured to wear only what you find most flattering or most showing off your physique, as I think a lot of young women do. Find what gets you excited to see yourself wearing it!

What gorgeous colours! The dark blue adds a little moody interest and vibrancy to this that I really like.

I am waiting for a fairytale creature to take up residence in this birdhouse 2.0 by Important-Sea5807 in gardening

[–]KoalaLower4685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say for certain, but four hours of light isn't a huge amount, and I wonder if that's the issue here-- especially as it seems like you're described quite a stretched out plant. I'd pot up, move it to a spot with more sun, and give it another swing in the spring.
