Great job! You got it right.

We are about to discuss about the literature of
Scotland.

C. ABSTRACTION (DISCUSSION)
To start our discussion, let us first check on the (One student answer)
history, culture, and tradition of Scotland. Who
can give me any idea about the country
Scotland?
(One student answer)
Thank you for you answer. Now who can tell me
the history of Scotland? And what happened
during the Scottish prehistory?
(One student answer)
Thank you, how about during the Early Scottish
History?

That’s right. The Romans build defensive walls

because in an attempt to keep hold of the land
they had invaded from hostile northern
Caledonian tribes. Despite building two
impressive fortifications – Hadrian’s Wall to
defend the northern border, and the Antonine
Wall across Central Scotland to advance it
forward – the Romans never truly conquered
Caledonia. Unable to defeat the Caledonians and
Picts, the Romans eventually withdrew and over
time retreated away from Britain.

And then, Vikings were accomplished seamen at

this point in history, and around 800 A.D they
began migrating from Norway and Denmark,
crossing the treacherous North Sea to trade and
settle in Scotland. (One student answer)

How about during the Medieval Scotland?

Thank you. So, what is this Declaration of

Arbroath all about? Declaration of Abroath is a (One student answer.)
Latin document signed by Scottish Barons and
Nobles and addressed to Pope John XXII,
declared Scotland's independence as a sovereign
state. The forceful proclamation remains an
important document in Scottish history, and
many historians believe it influenced America's
founding fathers to create the United States
Declaration of Independence.
(One student answer)
How about during the Jacobite Era?

That’s right. And do you know why this era is

called Jacobite Era?
(One student answer)
Okay. The supporters of the restoration of the
Stuart Kings called themselves Jacobite class. It
is because Jacobite comes from the Latin word,
‘Jacobus’ which means James. Do you
understand class?

How about during the Enlightenment?

Correct. During the Age of Enlightenment,

philosophers in Scotland affected the modern
world with their views. Philosophy, chemistry,
geology, engineering, technology, poetry,
medicine, economics, and history were all part of
the intellectual movement that aimed to
understand the natural world and the human
mind. For their accomplishments, figures such as
Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, Adam Smith,
Robert Burns, and Sir Walter Scott are
celebrated. Do guys get it?
(One student answer)
And how about the Scotland in the present?

Very good. Now, let’s move on to the cultures

and traditions of Scotland. Anyone who can
share his/her knowledge about the cultures and
traditions of Scotland?

(One student answer)

Moving on to the literature of Scotland,
