Day 86...
Soil, Plants and Crops & Grassland
The day began with an identification task - we had a list of pictures and had to decide which crop they were before using another set of product pictures and identifying which of the crops goes into producing them! We then watched a video on harvest timings and by-products - answering a question sheet as the video went on.
We then were split into groups and given hand outs on various topical issues with regards to crops, global growth, markets etc. and had to devise a set of questions that we would then ask the other groups and visa versa - this was a strategic task for those who thoroughly read the articles and devised questions accordingly!
Tutorial
This, for the three of us who turned up, was about whether we needed to come in next week - unfinished assignment work is to be completed in class time during next week. Luckily I will not need to attend (as long as I complete my last assignment in the library this afternoon!), however, I am coming in on Wednesday for a last preparation teleporter session before attending the telescopic handler test on Monday and Tuesday 9th & 10th June.
