For ANY essay at National 5 we need to make sure our introduction contains TARTSS.
Here’s a copy of the slide we annotated to help you remember this. This is the structure of every critical essay introduction you should follow. This is also applicable to Higher English too.
Apologies N5 and Higher for my absence today; I had to deal with a potential zombie invasion. That sounds like complete rubbish — but it’s true.
I know some of you saw me around the school so I just wanted to post and update you. The S1’s were working with their registration teachers (I’m representin’ 1B) and each other to develop their problem solving skills and teamworking abilities. I was helping them to create a suit to protect against the scary mingling zombies who infect by spitting, vomiting or biting you. Who knew?
Here’s some pictures for your perusal:
Hope your lesson was ok! Catch up with you all tomorrow.

Higher have been working hard over the past few lessons and got to crack open the brand new(!) felt tip pens. Groups only focused on Jenkin’s opening chapter and they looked at different themes; conflict, war, class. They also found evidence for symbolism in chapter 1: the silver trees separating the big house from the cone gatherers, the tree of madness growing inside Duror and the rabbit. Pupils also looked at character work and the importance of setting in chapter one and they thought about how the allusions to Garden of Eden contrasted with the threat of war.
All in all, loads to think about in chapter one – it could very well be the extract you are given in your Higher exam! – and I have included some examples for you to check/print out for your notes.
Can’t wait for your visual representation of novel to be finished too,
Miss Purdon
