Anyway thats all we have to do by this Saturday.
On friday 9th Oct we will have our discussion on the mind map. Sadly i tried doing it alone but its not fair for everyone because we need more ideas regarding the parts that are incomplete for example the part where Chloe annoys Peter is not specific enough and needs to be fixed. Got alot more so we will have our discussion after class and if time doesn't allow it we will finish the mind map online.

Thats all for now!
