4A1 – Sailmaker Quotations

I’ve uploaded your amazing theme mind maps to help you revise for the Final 8-mark question in the Scottish Set Text exam.

These themes are not the ONLY ones that can come up but it is a good starting point for your revision.

Remember: 

  • 2 marks for commonality
  • 2 marks for quote + comment from extract
  • 2 marks for quote + comment from another point in the play
  • 2 marks for quote + commend from another part of the play

Top Tip:

If you have time left at the end of the exam and you can think of ANOTHER quotation that is relevant to the final question then add it in. It’s good to have a backup in case one of your quotations or analysis isn’t quite right.

4A1 Performance (Talking and Listening)

Just a reminder that you should be prepared for your group discussion on a section of ‘Sailmaker’ on Thursday 31st August 2017. I will try to listen to as many groups as I can on this date but any left over will have the opportunity to talk on Monday 4th September 2017.

There will be further opportunities for assessment later in the year for those who are absent or do not achieve outcomes on the first attempt.
