Often, pupils don’t consider PE to be a writing intensive course. However, literacy skills are apparent across the curriculum and actually a very important part of PE.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In\u00a0National\u00a04<\/strong> the written piece of work includes extended writing\u00a0on outcome questions. These responses are assessed internally.<\/p>\n

At National 5<\/strong> this is the same but the questions are more demanding and externally marked by SQA.<\/p>\n

At Higher<\/strong> there is a written exam component<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pupils taking PE should become confident with command words to use in their written assessments:<\/p>\n

Command words for N4 + N5:<\/strong>
\n‘Identify’, ‘Describe’, ‘Explain’, ‘Evaluate’ and ‘Justify’.<\/h3>\n

Command words at Higher level:<\/strong>
\n‘Describe’, ‘Explain’, ‘Evaluate’ and ‘Analyse’.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Here are some excellent revision resources created by Mr McFarlane which can help organise your ideas in PE<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The above skills are evident in many other subjects too.
\nIn English, you have to identify the writer’s main points in close reading.
\nYou would also be asked to analyse language used in close reading, Scottish Set Text and in your\u00a0critical essay. You might also be asked to evaluate the effectiveness of an opening (or closing) paragraph in close reading.<\/h3>\n

Similarly, in Art, you could be asked to describe the artist’s work or evaluate their progress.
\nSo it is important to make connections between these skills and realise that if you can apply them to one subject, you most certainly could apply to others, too!!!<\/h3>\n
