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:
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.

I will attach the answers (some of which we looked at in class) in due course.
