- You must fill the page with the drawing or many small drawings of the same object.
- Make notes on it if you want to tell me about it.
They will be collected at various times over the coming weeks for correction and to make sure that they are being completed.
Failure to complete the drawings will result in a large number of marks lost for your summer exam.
