You should use the information from each other's presentations and ensure that you give me an essay plan as well. I will post videos of your presentations as well as the powerpoint which Shoked and Rachel prepared. It is crucial you work hard to include as much detail as you can. From next week we wil be really refining your essay technique as we will have covered all of the set works.
