Week 1 

On our first day of class, we were introduced to this module and were briefed on what are the projects to be done. For our project, our given theme is "Mythology". We were then required to form groups of four using the stickers which represent our status. I grouped up with Yuanmei, Caitlyn and Jia Yi. 

We were also given a lecture by Mr. Charles on the proposal guideline. In our proposal we are required to have:

• Working Title
• Background of Study and Problem statement
• Research questions
• Data collection
• Presentation of Findings

 (09/01/20)

We had a consultation session with Ms. Anis, Mr. Charles and Mr. Asrizal on our preliminary ideas. We talked about the myth of Kitsune and Inari. They told us to be open about it and ask questions like:

• What does Kitsune symbolize in the pop culture regarding its "two-sides"
• Is there still patriarchy in Tokyo? How is it relevant to mythology?

Week 2 

We were given a lecture on culture by Dr. Jinchi and a short sharing session on how our respective culture are unique to us.

I had an online discussion with my group members and after long hours of researching, we managed to come up with a few ideas. Our main topic is Kitsune. We discussed the 5 specific approaches to this topic and presented our ideas to Mr. Asrizal. He mentioned that he really like what we did for our research as it showcases our depth of understanding and it was able to form relationships. 

Here are our documented ideas:

Week 3

My group presented our proposal this week. After getting feedback from our lecturers, we did some slight changes to our research questions.
