Then with our partners we discussed about the important things about the text.

  1. Hi Rachel. I love your blogpost. It included a lot of important details. Your post was really positive and you put the pictures in the right place because sometimes people can put pictures in places that don't make sense. You put everything in your own words not what other people told you to put. I can tell that you really worked hard on your post. Great job! :)
