Regarding the presentation, I think we will use the old powerpoint slide we presented to Ms Joyce Lee last semester. We will use that powerpoint as it would be useful for our explaination. We has not presented this powerpoint to Ms Lim. So, I think we can take this chance to present this powerpoint slide to her.

During the presentation, we will take turns to present the documentary and powerpoint. Han will be excused from presenting the documentary and powerpoint as he was not in our class for the last semester. Of course, he will be assigned with a task. He will have to start the presentation. For example, ‘Good morning/afternoon ____’, followed by introducing our group members. For the rest, we will have to choose the part of documentary or powerpoint slides, each of us would like to present.

Bala, Wendy and I will be presenting the documentary film, while Bruce and Phan Chong will be presenting the powerpoint slides. As stated, Han will be introducing us.

Is this fine with everyone? If you want any changes, please tell me. :D

everyone contributed? What problems were encountered and how did you solve these as a group?

c) Explain your concept of the documentary and how does this documentary answer the project task
