Yeh lol i find that problem alot. Most other subjects it it easier to teach yourself
I dunno man 6 weeks is a long time haha. Better to aim reallyy high and not make some objectives than to aim really low and do jack all.
Also, download heaps of notes online for Eco and your other subs. They're really helpful for studying/making your own notes
Yeah, I downloaded one Pompeii and Herculaneum notes document over 11k words and I aced the 1st section of my Ancient History test :p

English: Read Frankenstein & Romulus + take notes on both. Also get a list of possible related texts.
Physics: Make sure I can do every Space related question + get a basic understanding of the other topics, maybe start Motors. Also probably start doing some extracurricular stuff (Might try and learn basic GR or QM) and finish watching the 8.01 Physics lectures on MITOCW - because that's my idea of a fun time.
Maths: Again, basic understanding of all the topics + indepth understanding of the topics coming up in Term 1. If I have more time (which I probably won't), I might start working through some of that stuff in the extracurricular pdf thing that's linked to in the extension 2 forum.
Music: Work on my performances, finish off my core composition and hopefully start work on an elective composition
Legal: Got a massive load of holiday homework, so just finish all that off

Our school has changed all official correspondence to 'study break' instead of 'holidays'. I guess this is good, you hear about lots of people absolutely powering through their courses at this time. Can't believe a week has already gone!

English Ad- start and complete assessment for belonging, read and write notes for core/related belonging texts, read all other module texts
English Ex- read and analyse core texts for language and gender, stalk libraries for elusive academic texts
Maths Ad- (WE ARE LITERALLY A TERM BEHIND FOR SOME REASON) revise all prelim concepts, start hsc concepts!
French Cont- CULTURAL IMMERSION (films, magazines, websites), and practice/memorise vocabulary and grammar concepts
Visual Arts- START BOW. START BOW. START BOW.
Ancient History- memorise Pompeii and Herculaneum to death (favourite topic), read ahead with Agrippina and Greek society/time period


++ a heap of homework

eek. can't believe it's happening. :jawdrop:
