Before we started this project we looked at examples of previous work by past students.  They were varied in terms of content and style, and we decided that we would make our blog more modern.  So, as everyone it seems, uses the internet nowadays, we thought that it would be a good idea to create a blog.  This would mean that readers could follow, comment and generally participate in the discussion.

Our starting point was to conduct a number of filmed interviews with some of our French friends and colleagues.  We drew up a questionnaire:
