What should I be doing over the Easter Holiday to consolidate my learning? You need to focus, mainly, on revising the Literature texts (Romeo and Juliet, An Inspector Calls and A Christmas Carol) and the Poetry (Anthology and Unseen). There are many resources on this page to help you with this.
We have prioritised this list so that you can make sure you have consolidated your knowledge for last term and prepared effectively to move forward next term without being overwhelmed.
