Activity 1

To start your study of this unit, we think it will be useful to learn about the context of Stevenson’s literary works. Therefore, engage with Unit 18 on Scots poetry of the Open University’s Scots language and culture course to get an introduction to poetry in the Scots language. As Stevenson is a prolific artist who has created work in many genres, Unit 9 on Drama, TV and film in the Scots language will provide useful background information on other aspects of what you will be introduced to in this unit.

Undertake as many activities as you can in the units, taking notes on aspects that are relevant for the key learning points of this unit. You may want to take your notes in the learning log for future reference.
