On the 12th January 2010 I got a phone call from Bima Loxley asking when we were to meet up on Wednesday and i reminded her that we were not going to meet then as we wanted the whold group and it would only be for an hour which is not enough time.
I told her that Friday 15th is the official meeting at my house and that I would be doing the work no matter who was or was not there as we are so far behind.
I managed to talk it through with her. She then asked her mother if she could come home with me and get piked up at seven. Deanna had already informed me on the night i arranged the meeting that she would be getting on my bus. So the meeting is from 4 - 7pm (officialy).
However - not even five minutes later - I go a phone call from Deanna informing me that she had spent a lot of her time in lessons and some extra time when she got home writting blogs and some had gone.
I called Bima and asked if she had deleted Deanna's blogs. She denied it at first until i told her that Deanna was sure it was her and that there was no other possible way that they could have gone and she admitted to deleting a couple. I told her that there was no excuse for it and that it was very wrong. She then told me that Deanna had practically copied hers as it was all about the same thing. I explianed that the examiners would notice any copying and would not mark Deanna's as it was done after hers - if she had really done that.
I told her it could not be done again and if she has any problems with other people's blogs then she have words with the blogger or come talk to me so that i can sort it out. Deanna called me back and we spoke about what to do about Bima deleting her work. I have suggested writting as much as she can remember again and possibly informing Miss Menzies. My brother then suggested that we blog about it so that we a least know that Deanna had put in the effort. Deanna told me that Bima had told her that we needed to cool it as it was only a couple of blogs and she had caught up with her so she had plenty of marks from that any way.
It wasnt just about the blog it was the fact that i (Deanna) had spent my time making the blog and the fact was that the blog wasnt the same as bima blog, the fact was that the blog was actully rather different my blog encluded how Bima and Nadine had started the questionnaire when i was away and when i came back they discussed it with me and Nadine even said that it needed to be changed. The blog was then changed in the lesson with my help and input. I then blogged about the plot that i has started in the lesson and had to finish in todays Mr Normans lesson, this is when i wrote the blog about what i have done in the lesson so that there would be proof that i did do work in the lesson even tho i did do some other blogs about the sheets that i was given.
This is another problem that - as a group - we will have to sort out on Friday.
We cannot have group members deleting other partners work - no matter what the blog is about. It is unfair amd cruel as Deanna had spent a lot of time on that work and Bima and I were not able to attend some of the lessons that Deanna had blogged about.
