Be fine I think. Just make sure you don't go copying paragraphs :)

hm did you participate in the "all your own work" workshops ? they should have given you a really good idea on what is plagarism and how much info you are aloud to use. If you did attend those and really listened at times (which i know ALOT of us and people I know didn't do) it was really useful info to process and could really help with your assignments and all.

Yeah, I was kidding when I said copy what other people have done... that's suicide if you're caught.

What I do is if I have a task that's been done before, I go to the resources page and grab one or two to see the types of answers they give and what format they're in... It's the easiest way to get me started. :)

well no not really .. but i listened at a few of them where the teachers actually made us work .. and well in a way it was quite useful at times. But more than half of the time I must admit I was playing boxes - first time playing and I won ! ^^ ahaha ..

our school acted strict on it .. and totally made sure that we all done it by holding an assembly and taking all those who didn't finish it .. lol but yeah it was a bludge .. and also very boring at times ! ^^

It was our last week of school after the SC. They wasted 20 periods on this and gave us the module booklets, which is probabaly somewhere in my closet. Most of things is basically common sense.

Remember it's only year 11, and it is a holiday period. Relax, go out, and have fun! You don't want to get burnt out for year 12. These are the first school holidays were i have actually done some school work, and i only got 1 more left after this lol.

That "All Your Own Work" thing was a joke. They made us go back to school for a full day just to do that shit. Of course, since it only lasted one period my friends and I left to see "Borat". best.decision.everrrrr.

Congrats on that great mark!

For me I did Yitzhak Rabin. The assessment was based on two sections: a speech in the persona of your chosen leader and then a written report. I got 10/10 for the speech :D but haven't received the reports yet.

And about the Rwandan Genocide - have you watched "Hotel Rwanda"? That movie was so good, and it gave me chills.
Yeah I was gonna use it as a source, but decided against it. Great film though.

I've completed all my homework.

Now it's just notes. Then I can enjoy the rest of my holidays without the hassle of school.
