Scot_text_revision

For everyone teaching #ScotText poetry this year, we’ve updated the advent calendar 🎄 🎅🏻 🔔 Ho ho ho. #N5English #HEnglish #revision

I’ve made a #retrieval sheet for Act 1 of Sailmaker to help pupils get to grips with setting, character, theme, symbolism etc. @scot_text It’s available to download for free, following this link. 🔗 tes.com/teaching-resou…

Great work from @missmcvittie’s N5 class today who have been looking more closely at the Scots language used in their SST, Sailmaker. Love to see it. Thanks to @MrKavanagh for the inspo! @scot_text 💡 🧠

Live theatre and Scottish Set Text

So many good revision ideas out there being shared at the moment. We’re working on this #Morgan clock on the board at the moment. #scottext #revision #N5English

@MissJudge4 Such a versatile task. Really like the gradual build up to the 8 marker too. Thanks for sharing!

@AnnaGrantENG Even more impressive that he was looking at endings for characters. I read it as effective endings 🙈

@scot_text I can only hope that the 10m Q is focused on characters dealing with literal or metaphorical endings. He deserves it haha 🤞

Well done Past Me. Was rooting about for revision resources for Duffy and I've made these at some point and forgotten. Open link to the PDF if they can help anyone else: drive.google.com/file/d/1ShMca0… Looking forward to Duffy 'Stop the Bus' too! @scot_text #SST

@AnnaGrantENG Wow! Such a great task for all.

@scot_text We did it too.... Our Stop the Bus winner that round managed to use the word 'Ending' for three poems!

Will be using this ‘Stop the Bus’ game tomorrow! Thanks @AnnaGrantENG for sharing.

@AnnaGrantENG Totally agree on versatility and disadvantaging exceptional writers.

@scot_text It unfairly disadvantages strong writers. There's real skill involved in writing discursively AND creatively effectively. This stops them from demonstrating versatility. My class is split down the line for creative/discursive. To teach one would be to do half a disservice.

Return of the spoken language component, but maintaining one folio piece🤦🏻‍♀️ I know literally no-one who thinks this reduces workload or adds to the course. I HATE one folio piece. We teach both anyway, so that learners can play to their strength. Terrible decision.

Definitely pinching this idea! Some great responses here ⭐️

Amazing work 🤩

Revising character 8 markers for #Morgan poems using single word quotes (idea from @mr_englishteach) #ScotText #N5English #Revision #Retrieval

Reused this little gem today #QuickQuotes #N5English #Morgan #ScotText #Revision

S5 have started their revision of their set text poems using commonality mindmaps and a one sheet revision document - thanks to @SPryke2 and @Team_English1 for the ideas #settext #revision #maccaig

We used timelines in our study sessions this week. Later we’ll use the notes to answer 10 mark questions. #HigherEnglish #ConeGatherers #ScotText #revision

#JackieKay revision today with our ‘Agree or Disagree?’ tasks. #ScotText #N5English #Revision

@AuchenharvieE It’s the pits. How did we ever manage two?

@scot_text I’m a 6

Folio has taken over everything else right now 🤦🏼‍♀️ we’ll get back to revision soon! Which #Duffy are you today? Anyone else a 2? 😫 #N5English #HEnglish #ScotText #Folio

@mrsfraserphs Might wear glasses tomorrow just to do the 7. It’s my least favourite time of year

@scot_text I’d say 7 or 4. Little patience for any nonsense at the minute
