Burns Night

As a Scottish person, I generally celebrate Burns Night on the 25th of January. This evening of haggis eating and poetry reading is in honour of Scottish national poet, Robert Burns. In this lesson, there is a video from scotland.org about Burns' life as well as a worksheet and a hilarious video all about haggis that also comes with a worksheet. Everything is on the padlet below. The fantastic haggis video came from Michelle Henry's website.

Questions for a Scottish person: survey and presentation

Both groups made a questionnaire using Google forms which I sent out to friends and family to be filled out. Each team had to find questions related to the theme they had done brainstorming on in the previous class (see Scotland week 45 materials). They had to think of 5 questions and choose the two best ones for the survey. They were encouraged to use open rather than closed questions.

Group A's survey
Group B's survey

 The students were given the following task for the next 2 sessions, which involved creating a Powerpoint presentation about their survey results.

Scotland resources for week 45 classes

Dear all,

The materials entitled 'Scotland' that I've just posted are what I'm planning to use in classes this week to present my home country. All of these material were created on GoConqr, which lets you create quizzes, slide show, mindmaps etc. Hopefully this will work well in your classes! I am also going to use a guessing game activity where the students have to ask yes/no questions to find out information about me.
