Homework

Homework has to be completed by Monday 26th September. You must ensure that you have logged on to the wiki (as discussed in class) so that we can take care of any problems before Friday 23rd September.

I would prefer you to handwrite your homework as it will help to reinforce the information that you are learning about the play and it will provide you with some good background details about the play.



I have set up a Discussion linked to this topic. If you have any problems completing the tasks, please contact me or your classmates through the forum to seek help.

=﻿Here is the homework, copy and pasted from the file above, should anyone be experiencing difficulty opening the document.=
