RE: Questions for tommorow

Yeah joe mate all great points, am getting bang on it tonight.

Another couple of things being that we only have two whole days before we are actually going so we need to be straight on it tommorow.

I am creating those sheets for the Probes tonight so some of them will be ready by tommorrow ane we can look at them and decide what needs to be changed and how they can be amended!

One more thing I think that a digital camera would sufice, i know a polaroid would be fantastic so we could create a profile of each person that we interviewed, but i dont think we will gain anything other than it looking slightly cooler!

See you hommies tommorrow!

Questions for tomorrow:

Hey guys,

really good discussion today and constructive talks and ideas. For tomorrow as discussed we each want to get some questions for the "stakeholders"- policeman, shop owner, street cleaner etc.

Also have a think about the probes you want to do and the questions you want to ask in them- and how best we want to present this information to get the best response. this can be to do with the topics discussed today such as communication between communities, the food and retail areas, anti social behaviour etc etc. we really need to get these made tomorrow.

Also we will get those postcards done as an extra probe when we go out at night. Basically my thinking with this is that we may get some one word responses back to really objective straight forward questions that may just spark some ideas when we get back. No harm in trying it.

I think if we try these three different aspects then we are bound to find a small niche or a problem that we can then go onto address.

I don't think we are limiting our self by looking at these areas because we have tonnes of research that we can go through but i think it does help to have a focus, and it will help us make are own judgements and opinions on where we think we should go, and it is not like we have 6 months on this so i don't think simplifying things is necessarily a bad thing.

Cheers
