After this short introduction copy of section 5, Paqui made a table on the board, and we copy it into notebook, the table was about the Unification of Italy and Germany.
Before we complete the table and he was explaining at the same pace we were going completing, if only we have been given time to complete a little about Italy.
We have learned and we have filled the table with the following content:
