This week we got focused on the first practical exam, and AGIT-PROP type piece. Griff, suffering from a cold, split us up into 3 groups and gave us different tasks, which would end up with us creating a plan and staging an Agit-Prop play. For my group, we had to research different policies, beliefs and differences of the left and right wings. We originally thought we would go to Aldham Robarts and research the given topic, but luckily, Laurence told us he has some strong beliefs and a lot of information he personally gathered and compiled on, surprise surprise, left and right wing pieces of information, mostly from a left wing perspective due to his beliefs, but nonetheless, we understood what both sides stood for. With that in mind, we went to the SU Bar and debated about the left and right wing, talking about all the relevant information we needed, with the aid of Laurence's self-made file of Socialist Polictics. We spoke about Cameron's plans to rise budget cuts and tax, upon other things, and what the Socialist Party, a very left wing party, stood for and their beliefs on the right wing. Afterwards, we went back to the Red room in Joe H Makin, and the 3 groups swapped information.
I think that, thanks to Laurence, we were able to easily discuss all the relevant information and process it with little difficulty, always a good thing. I think that the play that we have to stage will be a lot easier for me to understand, as politics can often be difficult to fully understand. I was pleased this week that we were able to have more independant study, so I could follow the information easier, with Laurence's deep understanding, and being in a smaller group that we were able to talk at our own pace a lot more, therefore getting more and clearer work done.
