{ In groups of two, this assignment requires us to explore and get to know our family roots in more depth. For this assignment, I chose Sara as my partner, as we both are now used to working with each other. For the assignment we had to interview the chosen family of one group member and produce 2 A3 boards based on the information we have gathered from the chosen family. As for the individual component, we had to produce an A5 booklet about our family's culture and traditions. This booklet is a maximum of 4 pages. To gather information of the chosen family, which finally was chosen to be my mother's side, Sara and I decided to interview some of the family members arraying of different age groups. Timing was good to us, as relatives from Penang had come down to KL, making it easier for me to arrange an interview. }

{ Here I learnt the different superstitions, cultures, festivals and occupations that make up my family name and traditional values. With the skill of incorporating infographic boards and interesting information about my forefathers, Sara and I came up with a unique appearance.

{ Here I learnt the different superstitions, cultures, festivals and occupations that make up Roman traditional values. With the skill of managing and handling tasks to people, we learnt that we work faster and better in this manner. Also, communication is key to successfully create a video regarding Roman empire and fore-history. Time management is also key when showing tutorials through our padlet for each week. }

( Final Postcards )
{ In this final project, I learnt the art of digital litercay by using online editing applications on the internet such as picmonkey. This gave me a sense of achievement by calling the postcards, I made my own. I also learnt skills such as photography through this assignment. Eventhough, this assignment at first, looked easy, it definately wasnt as I learnt that we need to back up our work, with reseach that has to be done thoroughly. }
