Show Project - Minutes from the 2nd meeting (1st half)

In todays lesson, I directed the class as to what to do within the first half of the lesson. I asked each person in the group to rember their role within the project and then to split up into their roles (i.e get into a pair or group with the other people within that role). Once every one was into their role / groups, I then asked them to write down what their role actually involves and also to see weather they needed anything to be placed onto the budget sheet (purchases etc). After a group discussion each member of the group had sorted a basic check list out and also informed Dave (finance manager_ as to what they wanted on the budget list.
