The
Scottish Parliament is a place that uses a lot of words. But different areas
and jobs use language differently and for a different purpose. This comic, by
Beath High School, looks at how SPICe organises and presents information for
MSPs and the public, and the precision required to draft new legislation.
There
are four downloadable versions of the comic: English, Gaelic, screen-readable
with alt-text and a powerpoint suitable for screens.
This comic, and its companion, Language in
Parliament 1, are supported by downloadable teaching resources suitable for
English classes from Nat 3 up
