Scottish Week

Next week is Scottish Week - during the week we will be studying various aspects of Scotland - to help you prepare for the week you should undertake an investigation into the Clan System.

Statement - Scottish Clans today are more about attracting American dollars than preserving Scottish heritage.

Explain and state your opinion on this statement. Remember you need to provide evidence to help justify your opinion clearly giving reasons why you agree or disagree with this. Talk to other people to help you form an opinion.

You should be prepared to present your findings to the class - target a 2 minute talk. If required you can create resources to help support your thoughts - but as this is a 1 week investigation it is not essential.
