Template and formatting for folio!!

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:     

http://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/47904.html

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.

It is recommended that the portfolio pieces are printed double-sided, but please do not use staples to attach your pages together.
