Loads of great discussion and sharing of ideas this evening.
Thanks for getting involved and we look forward to next month’s #ScotChat
Do we find that our timetables also shape our text decisions? #scotchat
Couldn’t agree more that pupils studying a text two years in a row struggle to analyse at H level. #scotchat
@MissKMitchell_ @scot_text I agree, can't think of much worse than studying the same SST two years in a row.
I also think it's so much harder to uplevel the depth of analysis on a text you've studied at a different level too? I reckon it's easier to start afresh with a new text.
Evening folks 👋 tonight we’re thinking about bi-level texts…
Good for dual level classes but can pose problems when you inherit a class in S5 - what do we think of crossover texts at N5 and H?

8pm for this chat which is always interesting. #ScotChat
@scot_text Often getting them to do commonality at the end as a type of conclusion helps them get their head round it.
Using this next week #scotchat
@scot_text 'The paper is yours! Underline, circle, jot down notes, physically engage with the text!'
@AuchenharvieE I love to see an annotated paper! Still see lots of pupils reluctant to do this. Does it take a while to get your classes really confident with this? #scotchat
An old one but writing your quotations down straight away is a must for me #scotchat #question3 #revision
Does this resonate with you? #commonality feeling really artificial and an added hoop to jump through? #scotchat
@scot_text I struggle with this part of the exam. Seems quite artificial and kids find it really overwhelming at first- probably due to not doing much in BGE. We have incorporated comparison of texts in BGE now but I am not sure it is having an impact because you can be more holistic in BGE
Evening all, we’re kicking off tonight’s discussion with a question about commonality.
Do you ever find pupils struggle with this concept? How do you teach it and make it clear?

Who is up for some #scottext chat tomorrow night, 8pm?
Our questions have a #revision theme this month as we head towards prelims.

Plenty of love for J&H tonight #scotchat
@scot_text @mrsfraserphs @mrsmckennateach It is a great text and it's short and not boring. One of my colleagues is doing it this year, so we'll see how it goes. But we mostly teach it in S4 to GCSE (yes, we do GCSE then Higher - not my idea!), so don't have the option normally.
Thank you for all your contributions to #ScotChat this evening - it’s been a great one with a real mix of opinions.
Feel free to carry on but we’re away to give our thumbs a break!
Hope you can join us next month #scotchat #scottext #n5english #higherenglish
@AnnaGrantENG @Miss_AHunter What a great idea. Nice prep for Advanced H too, I always feel I want to do more creative writing with SP but struggle with time. I like the short bursts approach #scotchat
@scot_text I teach what I love. I talk about seeing my children’s scans when teaching JK, and my reading of Maggie in MSW is legendary- ‘whit wis I when we wis coortin…’
@HolyRoodEnglish I have heard of schools doing this but I wonder how much teachers and pupils enjoy it? I know I’d find it repetitive and boring. I see the advantage though, especially if they’re doing two larger texts #scotchat
