This Kit. Based on the works of Jackie Kay and Ron Butlin this kit looks at theScottish city of Edinburgh. It differs from original BritLit kits in that there is no singlenarrative text to work through. Instead, four initial poems with two connecting threadsare explored and put into the context of the author’s home city. A further poem and ashort story by Edinburgh author Ron Butlin are introduced as further readingactivities, giving another view of Edinburgh.

The Resource Kits. Much of the material provided is intended to be used with mixedability classes and while the input from the materials is the same, the output from the students will vary considerably. Other materials are generally classed according to their degree of difficulty using the Council ofEurope Framework now adopted bymany European countries as benchmark criteria for language assessment (http://www.alte.org/can_do/cef.cfm). The resource kits provide a never-endingsource of material for the teacher inasmuch as teachers are asked to contribute their own experiences and ideas to the project; we would like to see the materials mutate and mature with use.
