Tuesday 6th June S3

Today was your first lesson in the National 4 course.  We discussed the high expectations I have from you and the strategies you can use to meet these expectations.  We also talked about beginning to think about what you want to do for your project after the summer.  Don't forget to pick something that interests you but also challenges you.  I am looking forward to experiencing this new course alongside you.

Welcome to S2

Welcome to Second Year English!

In the lesson today we discussed what to expect from your new class and the structure of lessons (don't forget to have your book with you every lesson).  We also talked about how your jotter would now be used as evidence for assessment so remember it must be kept neat and all work must be done to the best of your ability.  I have put your tray on the counter near the fire exit so make sure you take responsibility for putting your work there every lesson.  You were also given your expectation letter and that should be signed and brought back by 12th June.

After all that boring admin we moved on to the exciting world of persuasive language.  In class today we covered exaggeration, repetition and use of influential groups.  Don't forget to try out your new skills.
