             Today we started the day with a big Do Now. In it, we had to login in our popplet account and answer the questions we had once said. Then, we had to ask some more questions based on what new information we had. Lastly in our do now, we had to skim through Ties That Bind, Ties That Break to find important dates and write them. We also had to write the dates in post it notes and put them in our timeline ( A little line in the ceiling of the classroom with important dates of the history of China.

             The second thing today was that we did image analysis. We looked at the images we saw when we first were studying about China. Then, We wrote what we saw and then what we thought. After that, we had to ask some questions. We then had to share and fill the information with your partner. We also investigated the rest of the images with our partners. One of the images we investigated and the paper we stated our thoughts on are put below this paragraph:

  1. Felipe I like your blogpost enough, but I think you went a little overkill on the pictures. You have to learn to balance the media. You tell the story, not the pictures. Try to use a little more text next time. Good luck!

    1. I also thought of that while I was making this post. But, I thought there was no way of showing all the things.

  4. Felipe I like your blogpost, because of these two pieces of information. First you wrote your post with facts of what we did in class in relation to the learning target 3.2. Seccond you you used technology to show what was the class was doing and to reflect their learning and writing related to the learning target 3.4.
