SUBMITTING YOUR ENGLISH
FOLIO
Your English Folio MUST be
submitted on paper, but using the
SQA’s specially formatted sheet. The
format looks like the sheet you are reading now.
You can get a Word copy of
the folio template from the SQA website here:
by clicking on the heading
called “Submitting Coursework” ( You can also get a pdf of the template there,
but you will not be able to type into it if you use the pdf format)
I can also give
you a copy of it on a memory stick, if you ask me nicely!
You can type directly onto the template,
or you can copy and paste in your writing from another file. You can also print
the template and hand-write directly onto it. Both of your Folio pieces MUST be
contained within one template. Give a clear indication of where each piece of
writing starts by giving each piece a clear title and starting each piece at
the top of a new page.
If you are typing directly into the
template, it will give you a font, font size and layout automatically. If you are typing in another file to paste
in, please remember:
·
use
12 point print size
·
take
a double return for new paragraphs
·
use
1 and half line spacing
Please make sure that your writing
stays inside the margin box on the template.
Remember that discursive and persuasive
pieces should have a bibliography.
Make sure you know the allowed word
count for each piece and you stick to it.
Your Scottish Candidate Number, and a
page number must be at the foot of every page in the template, using the boxes
provided. These are for the purposes of identification.
