LGBT inclusive resource: Marie Maitland's poem 49

The Scottish Government, in conjunction with Time for Inclusive Education, have made Scots language resources available for teachers delivering LGBT inclusive education in Scottish secondary schools. 

The resources focus on Marie Maitland’s Poem 49 of the Maitland Quarto manuscript, with one resource centring on the social context surrounding the time period of the poem, and the other on the interpretation of the poem itself.

The resources, available at lgbteducation.scot,  feature downloadable PPTs as well as teachers’ notes and handouts.
