All About Scotland

to the teacher Summary

All About Scotland highlights a variety of aspects contributing to Scotland’s unique history and culture. Chapter 1 explains how Scotland developed into a country separate from England, with its own language and culture. We also learn how one of Scotland’s heroes, William Wallace, fought for independence from the English. Then, in Chapter 2, we learn about the tragic life of Mary, Queen of Scots and how her mistakes led to her becoming a prisoner in England and her eventual execution. We learn about the geography of Scotland in Chapter 3, including the Munros (Scotland’s highest mountains) the Trossachs (an area surrounded by forests, mountains and lakes) and the Scottish Isles. In Chapter 4, we read about Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city and of several famous places, including Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. We also read about the Edinburgh Festival. We find out about the Royal Yacht Britannia, which was the floating home for the Royal Family for over 40 years, and Greyfriar’s Bobby, a statue of a loyal dog that stayed next to his master’s grave for 14 years. Scotland’s unique cuisine is the focus of Chapter 5, with information about haggis, deep-fried Mars bars and shortbread. In Chapter 6, we read about popular sports in Scotland such as golf and learn about the Highland Games, which take place all around the country and include events such as caber tossing. Chapter 7 explores four of Scotland’s icons. We learn about the origins of the kilt and its tartan design, the history of the bagpipes, and the legend of how the thistle saved Scottish soldiers from an attack by a Scandinavian army. The chapter also explains the meaning of the prefix ‘Mac’ or ‘Mc’ in front of Scottish surnames. We read about two Scottish traditions in Chapter 8. The first is the Burns Supper, a celebration of the life of the poet Robert Burns, and the second is Hogmanay, the Scottish New Year’s Eve. Chapter 9 introduces some of Scotland’s famous writers. Sir Walter Scott, the author of Ivanhoe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, famous for creating the character Sherlock Holmes, and Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. In Chapter 10, we meet four famous Scots: actors Robbie Coltrane, David Tennant and Rose Leslie and tennis player Andy Murray, while some of the most important Scottish inventors and discoverers appear in Chapter 11. Alexander Graham Bell is famous for inventing the telephone, Sir Alexander Fleming for penicillin and James Watt for his improvement of the steam engine. In Chapter 12, we find out about Scotland today. We learn about the establishment of the Scottish Parliament, the debate on independence and Scotland’s efforts to use renewable sources of energy, like wind and water. BACKGROUND

• A  D means ‘anno domini’ and is Latin for ‘the Year of the Lord’. So, the year 2016 AD means 2016 years after the birth of Jesus and assumes that Jesus was born in 1 AD. •T  he Royal Mile is an area in the Old Town of Edinburgh that covers about one square mile (1.81 km) between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood house. •H  arris Tweed material is made by islanders in the Outer Hebrides. This special material is made from wool. After inspection, the material gets a stamp from the Harris Tweed Authority to confirm its authenticity. •T  he Highland Fling is a Scottish folk dance which became popular in the 19th century. Today, dancers perform the solo dance at competitions around the world. One of the goals is to stay on the same spot throughout the dance. •C  rown Jewels are the ornaments and pieces of jewellery that are used by the monarch of a country on important occasions. They usually include crowns, sceptres, orbs and swords as well as necklaces, bracelets and other items. They are often richly decorated with valuable jewels which have been collected for many years.

Before reading These activities are designed to help the students’ reading comprehension. They help to activate the students’ background knowledge and ability to predict. At this level, these activities will usually be conducted in the students’ mother tongue. Students with a strong vocabulary can do some of these activities in English. SUGGESTIONS FOR LEAD-IN ACTIVITIES

Ask the questions and elicit the answers from the whole class. Some possible answers are provided in italics. If you prefer, students can work in pairs or small groups. 1. What do you know about Scotland? (It’s part of the UK. The people speak English and Gaelic. Sometimes, the men wear kilts. It has got many lakes. There’s a legend about a monster in Loch Ness. Mary, Queen of Scots ruled over Scotland.) 2. Why do countries conquer other countries? (They want to own more land. It gives them power.) 3. What did the Romans contribute to the world? (roads, sewage systems, aqueducts, the Roman calendar, many languages come from Latin, the Roman language) 4. What makes a country unique? (the people, the food, the language, the traditions, the history) 5. Scotland is becoming more ethnically diverse. Why do you think people move to other countries? (to improve their lives; to experience a different culture; to escape from war or poverty in their own countries) 6. Would you like to visit Scotland? Why / Why not? BEFORE READING ACTIVITIES

The Before Reading Tasks in the Burlington Activity Readers general information leaflet, pages 9-12 can be applied to All About Scotland. 1. Look at the cover of the book.

Read lines 1-8 on page 19. Why is Edinburgh Castle special? List three things. (It is on an extinct volcano. Its chapel is the oldest building in Edinburgh. It houses the oldest set of crown jewels in the UK.) 3. Read the last paragraph on page 25. What is the connection between Scotland and shortbread? (Mary, Queen of Scots loved it. In the Shetland Isles, people broke it over the brides head.) 4. Read lines 11-16 on page 30. What do they imply about the relationship between the English and the Scottish people? (They didn’t have a good relationship. Scotland wanted to rebel against England.) 5. Read lines 6-17 on page 34. Why do you think people eat haggis at the Burns Supper? (Because it’s relevant to the poem Address to a Haggis.) 6. Look at the pictures on page 48. What does it tell you about Scotland today? (They use natural resources for energy.)
