October Holidays!

Higher and National 5 classes have both ended the term by doing a full Scottish text paper. The Higher class even had the added challenge of starting a Havisham critical essay within the allotted timeframe. If you missed either of these practice papers, please download them from here:

October Timed Paper (Higher)

National 5 October paper

and complete them for after the holidays, so I can track your progress.

Both Highers and National 5s should also ensure they complete the word choice questions in their close reading booklets during the October break.

The Advanced Highers took part in a creative writing workshop this week where they looked at prose fiction exemplars from a variety of candidates and professional writers, discussing the standards they would have to meet. They have all been allocated dissertation supervisors and given the deadline of 24th October for their notes and detailed plans to be submitted, now that their proposals have been edited.

Remember, remember: first drafts of  Advanced Higher portfolio piece one are due 5th November!
