More applications of unit 1material. So application exercises 2, 3 and 4, for example, which would follow on from your week 2 application exercise. You could deepen AE complexity, or focus on different learning outcomes than those covered in the week 2 AE.
Hope that helps!

I am in a similar situation in that my course (MSK for med students ) is broken up into weekly units and I have been giving an Irat each week with another session for cases.
