  1. Olivia great post, there is only one thing that I would recommend and that is a video. Other than that it was a really good post.

  2. Olivia,
    The color coding you used in your post was really helpful. It made it easier for me to keep apart the separate classes. I agree with Dustin that a short video clip may have helped. However, I don't really know what type of video would help with comprehending this topic besides what we have already watched in class. Otherwise, great post and it was really helpful when reviewing for the quizzes and test.

  3. Hola. I agree with Sophia, the colors actually helped. This helped a lot to review before the test, but since this is the last post before the test, maybe you could have gone through the packet a bit and touched on older stuff. just a suggestion.

  5. This was a really great post! The colors really helped me to categorize things and you had the information organized very clearly. The only thing that I would say you should add is maybe a video or some different pictures. Other than that good job!! :)
