Bitesize is a useful resource for Nat 5 study. Here is the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/subjects/zmcrd2p You will find help with writing, close reading and Scottish text (Jackie Kay). Remember that Mr Campbell is willing to help you if you are stuck with any aspect of the course or if you need advice with planning or redrafting. He can usually be found in his room - any morning before school, most lunchtimes and immediately after school. Please make use of this opportunity. He is happy to help. Also, keep an eye out for posters advertising Supported Study after school. Whilst this is no substitute for class work or planning your study at home, it does give you an extra opportunity to focus on the subject and consolidate your learning. If in doubt, please ask.
