I'm struggling to find the essays on the schedule in year 11. There don't seem to be notes that point/ link to them. Can someone tell me where to find them? Thanks!

Footnote #108 refers to essays, but nothing in the booklist sends you to that footnote.

I think Leslie fixed it. When she went looking, she discovered that a typo in an essay link she added had caused the whole essay section to disappear. Thanks for letting us know so she could find that problem!
