O Aw the Airts

Aims

Pupils will learn:

• that the Scots language has a very long pedigree; where it has come from and the fact that it has been influenced by other languages and countries;
• that Scots, like English, is a fluid and changing thing;
• to appreciate the diversity of modern Scots and recognise that it is still spoken throughout the country by people of all ages;
• that the Scots language is used for high-quality literature on a wide range of themes;
• about written Scots, developing knowledge about spelling and speaking Scots.
