Comments
---------------------------------
Average time spent on a book?? 10 weeks is too long... do it in 3 weeks, and hand out the book the first day in year one or two!!

DO MAJOR ASSESSMENTS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL'S TESTWEEK (if possible)

Teach your Part 4 texts just before the Individual Oral Exam (depending on where you put them)

Do approx. 5 Further Orals

Only have the students write rationales for the Written Tasks they actually hand in
