Research Week

This week our group did not meet up, but I managed to visit London myself. I visited the department stores Selfridges and Liberty, visited Fortnum and Mason (which was fantastic) and did some shopping in Covent Garden. I also went to a coffee shop and watched a film at Leicester square. My trip was great and gave me a good insight into why people visited London for leisure.  I have started putting things together on Prezi. It is a little tricky to use, but I think I am getting there.

Things to think about now:
 The activity that our presentation must have. 
 Starting to compose the slides of our presentation.
 Getting books out of the Library. 
 Assigning topics to research to each member of the group.
