Good Luck!

Hi guys,

Just a quick message to wish all of you the very best of luck for tomorrow. Get a good night’s sleep, be nice and early tomorrow and, most importantly, stay relaxed and do your best.

Remember, this is not the be all and end all…that comes in May!

Good luck,

Mr Miller

Close Reading: Final Question

Hi guys,

Below you will find a link to the short Power Point we used today to discuss approaches to answering the final (question on both passages) question in Close Reading. I have added the question for the 2012 paper on the final slide to allow you the opportunity to answer the question and have it checked/marked:

If you need a copy of the paper you can find it on the SQA website or by clicking here and looking in the Past Paper and Marking Instructions section.

Cheers,

Mr Miller

Persuasive Writing

Good evening,

I have added a new Page to the blog for persuasive writing which you can access by clicking the ‘Persuasive Writing’ tab at the top of the blog (next to the recommended reading tab etc).

Here, you will find links to the three Power Points we used in class today and this should be enough to help you get started with your research.

Finally, a quick reminder that there will be a Folio Writing Workshop on Thursday after school that will focus on helping you get started with quality introductions.

Thanks,

Mr Miller
