Deadlines update

http://justintimeproductions.blogspot.com
This is a very good and up to date blog. Have a look and then start working on your own!

As I told you in lesson today, due to the disruption of snow and the macs, you will have an extra month to finish your coursework. Your final deadline is now Friday 13th March. Everything has to be completed by this date.
I want to see everyone's folders this Friday 27th February, both the prelim and main task. You must have completed everything for your main task except photo construction, the final product, and the evaluation.
We will be working on your coursework in lesson time until 10th March, when we will start British TV drama.
Get working!
