Both groups, Complete the following:

I am very surprised not to see your Skins work on your blogs. If you've done it on paper, make sure you leave it in the pod for me to pick up.
1. All missing work to be completed - some of the responses on Eastenders should be developed.

2. There is an exam practice extract from Hustle for you to complete below.

3. Read the 3 articles from the Media Mag below and make some notes on your blog for each one. For the last one, it might be a few definitions to do with sound.

4. Start reading through the past papers and students' scripts carefully. They are levelled. You might want to watch the extracts first and have a go first before reading an answer or at least plan it.

Much to be done independently!
Make us proud!
