This week, the Higher class have been looking at some of the main themes explored in their final Iain Crichton Smith short story – home. After a collaborative task, the final details of the 6 given themes are collated below – with some themes providing basis for more discussion than others!
Off the back of this, the class were asked to choose the theme they felt they could write the most about and answer a 10-mark style answer on this. Responses were varied and interesting!
The class also had a look at a couple of trickier to analyse essay style questions on Havisham – They were to write plans on two then choose the one they felt the most confident about to produce a critical essay on. An example is attached below for anyone uncertain or who missed this lesson 🙂
