Curriculum for Excellence
Experiences and Outcomes
This resource has been developed with the Second Level of a Curriculum of Excellence's experiences and outcomes in mind. This interactive resource can help you achieve the following E&O's whilst studying the Jacobite Rebellions as a topic:
| Social Studies | ||
| E&O | Experience and Outcome Text | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| I can use primary and secondary sources selectively to research events in the past. | Just by using this resource you're using a secondary source to research events in the past! The links below can take you to some primary sources. | |
| I can interpret historical evidence from a range of periods to help to build a picture of Scotland's heritage and my sense of chronology. | By exploring this website's timeline a pupil can begin to build up a picture of events in chronological order. | |
| I can investigate a Scottish historical theme to discover how past events or the actions of individuals or groups have shaped Scottish society. | The Jacobite Rebellions (or Risings) are a major Scottish historical theme. | |
| I can compare and contrast a society in the past with my own and contribute to a discussion of the similarities and differences. | A suggested activity is to compare clan life with that of today. | |
| I can discuss why people and events from a particular time in the past were important, placing them within a historical sequence. | Pupils can investigate people and events using this resource and can place them within a historical sequence using the timeline. | |
| To extend my mental map and sense of place, I can interpret information from different types of maps and am beginning to locate key features within Scotland, UK, Europe or the wider world. | This resource provides access to lots of battlefield maps, an overview map of events and a map of important places to help pupils interpret information from different maps. | |
As you are accessing this resource using ICT, the following E&O's also apply:
| Technologies - ICT to Enhance Learning | ||
| E&O | Experience and Outcome Text | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| As I extend and enhance my knowledge of features of various types of software, including those which help find, organise, manage and access information, I can apply what I learn in different situations. | ||
| Throughout all my learning, I can use search facilities of electronic sources to access and retrieve information, recognising the importance this has in my place of learning, at home and in the workplace. | Whilst this resource does not have a search function (yet) there are different ways to arrive at the same information so it develops a pupil's sense of discovery and encourages them to use alternative ways to find information. | |
| I explore and experiment with the features and functions of computer technology and I can use what I learn to support and enhance my learning in different contexts. | By accessing this resource through an iPad a pupil is exploring the features and functions of modern computer technology and can use the information to support their topic work. | |
Cross Curricular Links
The Jacobite Rebellions and this resource naturally lend themselves to the Social Studies and Technologies experiences and outcomes above, however, a Jacobean context can be used across other curriculum areas:
| Numeracy and Mathematics | ||
| E&O | Experience and Outcome Text | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Many of the numeracy experiences and outcomes can be tackled within an 18th Century context. | Download a Jacobite Maths Workbook (pdf, 1.07 MB) | |
| Literacy and English | ||
| E&O | Experience and Outcome Text | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Listening and Talking | ||
| As I listen or watch, I can identify and discuss the purpose, main ideas and supporting detail contained within the text, and use this information for different purposes. | Whilst watching the videos and listening to the sound clips on this app the pupils can take notes, form and answer questions and use their knowledge in other activities. | |
| I can show my understanding of what I listen to or watch by responding to literal, inferential, evaluative and other types of questions, and by asking different kinds of questions of my own. | ||
| To help me develop an informed view, I can distinguish fact from opinion, and I am learning to recognise when my sources try to influence me and how useful these are. | Use the app to explore original maps, contemporary paintings and documents and begin to decide if they are bias. | |
| Writing | ||
| I enjoy creating texts of my choice and I regularly select subject, purpose, format and resources to suit the needs of my audience. | The writing opportunities within this context are vast. A tiny list of suggestions: • Write a newspaper report about the Massacre of Glencoe • Write a diary entry for Bonnie Prince Charlie whilst on the run • Use images or music from the site as a stimulus to write a story, e.g. Battle of Culloden Massacre of Glencoe | |
| I consider the impact that layout and presentation will have and can combine lettering, graphics and other features to engage my reader. | ||
| I can convey information, describe events, explain processes or combine ideas in different ways. | ||
| Having explored the elements which writers use in different genres, I can use what I learn to create stories, poems and plays with an interesting and appropriate structure, interesting characters and/or settings which come to life. | ||
| Expressive Arts | ||
| E&O | Experience and Outcome Text | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Art & Design | ||
| I have the opportunity to choose and explore an extended range of media and technologies to create images and objects, comparing and combining them for specific tasks. | There are so many art & design activities with a Jacobite theme: • Create a redcoat mitre • Make a cockade • Make a targe • Design your own tartan • Investigate the backgrounds of paintings • Explore paintings from the 18th century | |
| I can create and present work that shows developing skill in using the visual elements and concepts. | ||
| Inspired by a range of stimuli, I can express and communicate my ideas, thoughts and feelings through activities within art and design. | ||
| I can respond to the work of artists and designers by discussing my thoughts and feelings. I can give and accept constructive comment on my own and others' work. | ||
| Dance | ||
| I can explore and choose movements to create and present dance, developing my skills and techniques. | By learning some traditional Scottish dances (e.g., Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant, Strip the Willow) and taking part in a Ceilidh these outcomes can be easily met. | |
| I have taken part in dance from a range of styles and cultures, demonstrating my awareness of the dance features. | ||
| Music | ||
| I can sing and play music from a range of styles and cultures, showing skill and using performance directions, and/or musical notation. | Visit our music & song page for lots of great examples to play and sing. (Coming soon) | |
| I have listened to a range of music and can respond by discussing my thoughts and feelings. I can give and accept constructive comment on my own and others' work. | ||
