The document summarizes the coverage of Remembrance Sunday by three international students. It discusses their initial plan to attend a Poppy Memorial event, having to switch to Plan B of going to central London, and their tasks of conducting interviews, filming, and posting on social media. Though it was difficult to navigate crowds and some people did not want to be interviewed, they were able to complete their coverage and learned lessons about planning alternatives, finding good filming angles, and confidence in interviews.
