3. What was done, who did it and how was it assessed?
4. How was the team performance? What can be done to improve (how are we implementing Kaizen daily).

ANSWERS : 

1. we've learnt that colonizing countries during that time is a really important thing to them. this is one of the main reason why world war 1 started. greed for more land, money, resources and many more.

2. our team asked felinsha 'why is it that countries always want to take over land?' she said that it's for them to gain power. britain at that time had the most power because they have colonized so much countries and as human beings, we feel the need to be the best, making other countries start colonzie other countries as well.

3. felinsha did her ldl teaching today and galvin did the ldl team scorecard.

4. overall, the team's performance is pretty well done, but we think that during the ldl teaching, we should have listened more intently because all of the facts were there, we just didnt listen that well.

      felinsha is teaching to her group for her LdL presentation.
