\"\"<\/a>On 18th June 2014, Graeme High School staged a meta-literacy event involving subjects from each of the 8 curricular areas within Curriculum for Excellence. The whole of the new S2 year group attended this event, with new S6 pupils acting as facilitators\u00a0at each of the\u00a0workshop stations. The event was a culmination of development work by teachers in every subject area looking to\u00a0extend literacy across learning strategies. Click here<\/a> to see the rota of activities.<\/p>\n

Caroline Harper, principal teacher of English worked with colleagues in school to\u00a0develop teaching strategies which enriched and deepened awareness of \u00a0literacy\u00a0across learning\u00a0and helped pupils transfer and apply their skills more effectively.\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The activities experienced by pupils during the meta-literacy event developed skills such as: mind-mapping, note-making, summarising, visual words, using “post its” and extending vocabulary. Each subject area devised a task which was relevant to their course content, and pupils rotated each 15 minutes. The activities were facilitated very ably by the S 6 pupils and school staff\u00a0 visited the event to see how other departments integrated these literacy skills. The event\u00a0provided valuable ideas which could be applied in a range of contexts and shared practice very effectively.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pupils were engaged throughout and gave very positive verbal feedback. The literacy experience was enriched by this event and pupil awareness of how to apply their literacy skills was enhanced. There was a lovely collaborative and exciting atmosphere during the\u00a0event\u00a0which added to the\u00a0positive ethos within the school. Caroline and her colleagues were pleased that the event widened their exemplification of\u00a0literacy across learning, and acted as a showcase for staff development work.
