Today I listened to the podcast on London at war. While it was convenient to listen to it at home  I much prefer the interactive setting of the lecture room. The emphasis on crime during the war was very interesting as this is a side of London at war which I have not studied before. It is also interesting to look at London in the aftermath of the war, and how squatting became popular due to the severe lack of housing. 

Week 23

The presentation this week was on health care. I think this was the best presentation yet - we were given tasks throughout the presentation to engage us with the topic. The group also gave their aims of the presentation, and both the introduction and conclusion were concise and well explained. The timeline activity really helped me understand the topic. Overall, I enjoyed this presentation and feel I learnt a lot. 

Week 22

The presentation this week was on London at war. Everything was well explained, and there was a focus on women's roles during the war, which was very interesting. 
I liked the task at the end of the presentation - drawing the poster was a really creative way to get us thinking about the topic.
