IMPORTANT NOTICE: I've decided we'll do the Lang in Work writing NAB on Wed afternoon and not on Tuesday (will explain on Tues - hope that's ok with you guys.)

Work for Friday 22nd April

Here are the 2009 papers. Thought it might be good for you to try under exam conditions. If you're really stuck you can access the transcript on the SQA website but see how you get on without looking.

Higher
I've put the essay question on aswell as we really need some timed exam practice (remember you have 1 hour for the whole paper and can use dictionary) - I'll take in the writing to mark and we'll mark listening in class - enjoy :-)
