S1 - S3 – Curriculum for Excellence English
English in S1-S3 follows the principles of Curriculum for Excellence by adhering to the Broad General Education format. In this, pupils will have ample opportunity to enhance their skills in the four key elements of Literacy: Listening & Talking, Reading and Writing.
Pupils will be continually assessed throughout the year and the results recorded in profiles of Experiences: written work, critical essays and talk feedback will feature prominently. This will determine whether they progress to National 4 or National 5 in S4. Assessment will be internal and as such will be peer and teacher led so as to foster the key principles of CfE.
Class work will be a wide mix of personal reading, critical analysis of a variety of texts, writing in a variety of styles and solo, group and class presentations and discussions.
Homework will be as and when needed: usually researching a topic, completing a written piece of work, preparing a presentation or further studying an element of language.
