Please use your time constructively and we will resume the formal teaching & learning next time I see you.
Yr 12 G&P: Please take the time to read the chapter in the text book on Parliament and make summary bullet point notes/revision cards.
There are also some small pamphlets on Parliament on the shelf in 201 which would be well worth reading/summarising in bullet points.
Yr 13 G&P: Now that the Iowa convention has taken place, research some of the media response to the outcomes. It would be worth looking in the UK national newspapers (in the library) and also online (try UK and US news web sites)
What is your assessment of Trump's position now within the Republican camp and who is leading amongst the Democrats?
