We started the school year by listening to Charli XCX’s ‘I Love It’ and exploring ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. We learnt so much about how to write an essay and had such a good time!

Back in September 2024, we kickstarted another year of Sound of Pen classes with Charli XCX. Given that we were just coming off the back of (the first) brat summer, it made sense to focus on Charli. In fact, on EVERY level, it made sense!

Click the margaret bratwood picture below. It will take you to Spotify and a version of the session that I recorded separately. Obviously, it’s a bit different to what actually happened in the classroom because you don’t hear the students’ voices, but if you love Charli and you’re studying A-Level English Literature, then hopefully you’ll enjoy!!

Now, have a Charli-inspired chat about ALL the characters in your course texts!
