Our next disciplinary learner poster focuses on ANNOTATION. Not to be confused with labelling a diagram, annotating means making analysis notes on/ around a passage/poem/paragraph.These notes support a learner's understanding of text and prove useful tools for essay writing📝

We've been thinking a lot about disciplinary literacy recently - that is, the core words/phrases/terms that we use in our subject every day.
This week, we're sharing our Command Word(s) posters for learners, starting with a word we use every day in English from S1-S6: ANALYSE

[Marr College @MarrColOfficial]

Well done to all our readers. #MARRvellousreaders

Today, Higher English were learning how to tackle the final question in RUAE (identifying areas of agreement and disagreement) through the medium of Roy Keane football punditry.⚽️ @EnglishScotland

[Marr English @MarrEnglish]

It has been really lovely to welcome everyone back to the dept. and to finally meet our charming new S1s. 1F2 were writing poems about the future and that got them thinking about our whole school values of Motivation and Ambition. We will share some next week! @MarrColOfficial

As key assessments and test take place in school, it is good to know what to do if you start to panic or forget everything... @MarrColOfficial @mrbell_1
