To do over the holidays Folders up to date and organised (orange post-it). Catch up with any missed work (Moodle). Green pen improvements to essays – either underneath the essay or on a separate (labelled) sheet.

Begin to do wider reading/research (library books, internet research, scholars – names from documentary are a good start). Label work done at home so it is easily distinguished from class work.
