Week 26
This week was our presentation on leisure and pleasure in London. I focused on many subjects - the London zoo, coffee houses, the Great Exhibition of 1851 and Selfridge's. I felt that by researching a number of topics that our presentation would be more varied and interesting, but I agree with Bobby in that my topics lacked depth because I did not explore any of them as greatly as I would have if I had focused solely on 1 topic. I was disappointed in the lack of cooperation of the group, and felt our presentation could have been much better had certain members been more organised. I greatly enjoyed researching the topics for my presentation, especially about Obaysch the hippo. I am fairly pleased with the grade of 66%, but if our group would have cooperated more in the weeks before the presentation, I am sure we could have achieved a higher grade.
