It was a pleasure taking both Higher classes to the Scottish Parliament this week. The groups saw a ministerial statement, debates on farming and health. There was even an opportunity today for a Q and A with 1 of their 8 elected members.

@MrModster72 @LAHumanities_ Purely because theyโve done a lot of 20 markers recently and we only had a single 50 min period. I donโt have any about social issues hunches no. I suspect GOVT responses for Int Issues topic but not sure. Do you have any hunches for the final exam? Please share if you do! ๐ง
