First Group Meeting

Today we were put into our groups and came up with a colour key for ourselves so we could mark who has done what within the group;

Jamillia Joseph (Purple)
Mariana Cardoso (Pink)
Tobore Igbiri (Green)
Victoria Queiroz (Orange) - Myself
EVERYONE (Blue)

In our First Group Metting we have chosen to take forward my slang idea as it was the strongest idea out of the group. We then developed my idea further by discussing the aim and what the purpose of the documentary was going to be.
The purpose that we have come up with together is to inform teenagers about their use of language, with interviews of parents, teachers and teenagers. Our aim "Does informal language have a place in society" with focus on slang being used within education.
