In line with Curriculum for Excellence, the S3 course in English sees pupils continue to develop their abilities the experiences and outcomes that they have covered in S1 and S2. Once again, pupils will be assessed across four key areas of the course:
- Reading
- Writing
- Talking
- Listening
Pupils will continue to refine their skills in each of these key areas using a range of different texts as a stimulus. Much of the S3 course is devoted to developing literacy skills through a colourful range of activities and texts.
Pupils will, as always, be encouraged to read an increasingly varied and more sophisticated range of literature and quality journalism. In S3, classes continue to visit the school library every four weeks and will be given the opportunity to read for ten minutes at the start of each lesson.
