Pick two of the following questions. Research them thoroughly. Complete a detailed essay plan. Revise it. Then, once you are completely happy with your understanding, complete the question under strict exam conditions. Handwrite unless you will be typing in the exam. Allow 50 minutes for your answer. Submit both the finished essays and your detailed plans on the first lesson back after Easter.
