10. What do you need? You must have a folder. This needs to be brought with you to every lesson. I suggest that the folder is for a topic and you can use dividers to separate the sections within the topic. You will need access to IT. All portfolio work is completed in word. You will need to research aspects of the course to obtain secondary information. We use the text book but these cannot be taken out of the classroom.
