English Higher

Work for English in the Senior Phase will be set by your usual class teacher in a class Team. You are encouraged to follow your usual timetable and access materials when you would normally be in class - this is what your teachers will be planning for.

For Higher pupils, as well as completing classwork as set by your teacher you should also be revising all the work done on your course so far; this is to prepare for the Assessment Period, which will take place when we return to school (dates TBC).

Please contact your class teacher or Ms Rigby (katherine.rigby@aberdeenshire.gov.uk) if you have any questions about the work set, about what will be assessed during the Assessment Period, or about working at home.

Extension Work:

If you have extra time you would like to spend on something that would help with English, remember that reading is one of the best things you can do. If you have run out of books at home you can access ebooks for free through the Aberdeenshire Libraries app. The site is at the bottom of this page. You should also try to read quality non-fiction regularly, and the easiest way to do this is to find articles from newspapers such as The Scotsman and The Guardian online.

There are excellent resources for Higher on the BBC Bitesize website, and for Higher pupils Scholar is also very helpful.
