You will be paired with a partner. You will share your
pictures with your partner and give your thoughts on
what part of the activity did you like and why. This
communication must be done out of class and via e-
mail or instant messenger. Text messaging is
appropriate. We will then see if we can analyze the
pictures and find out how important to know a little
bit of history.
