To build up for tomorrow, I do believe Sally's asked us to think about groups and how we work in them as we will have a 1 day brief around the theme of 'Democracy'. I do like working in groups occasionally although, in work, I'm a bit of a loner. But, in the right mood, with the right brief, I think group work can be fun and rewarding. Not only do you have a number of brains which means a number of ideas, you also get to see how other people work. I'm a loud mouth so usually take over the running and organising of the group- which will be interesting to see tomorrow as I think we have a number like that in class and if I'm in the same group as one or more I don't know how I'll react.
Today was productive. After my large amount of research over the weekend and more tonight I think I might be coming up with a few tentative ideas. Nothing finalised but I'm finding a theme and a context and with that, I'll find my feet. I think, once you gain so much information you need to filter out what inspires or influences you. Adshel has really done that for me as has some other charity campaigns (Amnesty International especially) and I've decided to concentrate on only two of War on Want's issues; sweatshops and bargain clothing and banks and arms trade because we (as a Western country) are immeadiatly affecting and affected by them.
I also signed up for another tutorial today. I've decided to really use the chances of tutorials and have signed up for each one so far this project. Last week, I found Kit's research tutorial really helpful and Justin's today was just as interesting, albiet, a little more tangenting. Due to the fact only five of us signed up for a tutorial, what was meant to only be half an hour, turned into a full hour chat about idea generation. This has also given me some good starting points when I'm ready to move on from my bulk research.
We also had PAL group today which I found extremely useful. We chatted about Anna's essay and it really cleared some of my concerns and the fog in my brain.
Excellent. Bring on tomorrow.
