Homework, 14th March ,2016

Hi,

So this week you will be doing the homework I forgot to set last week! It involves reading two reviews, deciding which you think is the best and explaining why in 5 or 6 lines. As always, all the details you need are in your homework folder. 

Due: 

Tuesday, 15th March

Apologies!

I forgot to actually give the pupils their homework yesterday! Rather than interfere with the homework timetable, I will give it to them next week instead. Hopefully. 

Sorry!
