Hello everybody, I'm Silvia and this is is my journal for today's class!!

Today we arrived to class from the break time and Paqui started telling me that today is my turn to do the journal and she reminded the rest to the class when do they have to do their journals.
After that, we started correcting the exercise about the consequences of colonialism    that Paqui send to us yesterday. This was corrected by some people of the class like Stefania or Marta and this is the complete correction.

POSITIVE
 -Construction of infraestructures and facilities in the colonies.
-Cultivation of the lands and creation of industries.
-Intruduction of the hygiene and medicine methods: mortality decreased, population increased considerably.
-Construction of school and reduction of illiteracy.

NEGATIVE
-They only constructed the infrastructures the colonist considered to necessary.
-Balance between population and resources broke up: starvation and fammes appeared.
-They introduced the language and culture of the motor countries and ignored the cultures of the natives.
-Tribal societies and organizations destroyed and the structures of the motor countries (capitalism instead of collective use of the land). Replaced the native ones.
-Segregated societies appeared.

While we were correcting we started talking about the racism in USA and the things that Nelson Mandela made to get the rights of the black people and she recommended to us some films about the life of Nelson Mandela, for example "Invictus".

When we finished correcting the exercise Paqui has given their projects to some people that made a comic for the last project. After that, she reproduced the project made by Gema and Minerva.
In my opinion, their project was good because the drawings were simple but elaborated at the same time, the music used for the project was nice and the information was also good.
Paqui has told them the things that the have to improve for the next project and then the bell rang.

Hello,

You have to include the sources of the pictures. I've said this many times.

These are my corrections:
