Advanced Higher
Today we spoke about your dissertation topics and your plans. We consolidated Christina's approach, discussed the 'living' nature of plans, changed Bruce's topic slightly to match his current line of inquiry, and spoke about Ronan's broad plan.
Remember--a number of you want to discuss the works you are studying as being representative of their times in particular ways. This is fine, but remember that your focus must be primarily on the literature, not the history.
For next time, bring written plans (Kirsten and Ronan!), and one paragraph of your writing. We will be analysing content and expression.
Keep up the hard work, and don't forget to also keep up with your Dickens and Creative Writing.

Welcome back!
Welcome back, everyone!
Welcome to a fresh new year at Dingwall Academy. I'd like to particularly welcome our new first year pupils. You may have already noticed a number of changes in the English Department, and a number of new faces. Welcome to Ms Fraser, Miss McCulloch and Miss Tweedie, who have all joined us this year.
Now down to business. On this blog you will find a page for your class, as well as a series of posts and resources which may be of use to you (check the record of posts at the very bottom of the page). If you are in one of my classes, you should consider signing up for email alerts. These come in 'digest' form between 3 and 5pm each day when there have been changes or additions to the blog. It can certainly be handy as a homework reminder! Alternatively, you could follow #greensgalaxy on twitter, as short urls to new posts are tweeted the moment I hit 'publish'. Please be aware, however, that at the moment I am not keeping an eye on twitter, so if you're trying to get in touch, use email.
Check it all out. Please do feed the Punctuationfish. They're hungry.
If you think of something you'd like on the page, please do visit the 'Suggestions Box' (look in the tabs above) and leave a message, or email me. In the interests of online safety, when you do post, please simply use your first name and year as your 'signature'. For example: John S4.
Looking forward to another fantastic year!
