Introduction
Google this website http://recycled-fashion-project.wikispaces.com/
This project requires you to work as a class to create a website that contains information on trends, shop profiles, customer opinion, product analysis and environmental issues.
To do this the class is to be spilt into 4 groups, each with different aims. Within these groups each of you will have an individual role. It is important that you read the job descriptions and come to a descision as a group, who will be best to complete each role. If one person does not fulfil their role, not only the group but also the class will be effected.
Decide on who you want to work with bearing in mind that this project has been designed to allow young adults to learn skills that are required in a work environment.
