Today in social sciences Paqui has explained with a little sumary about the things we learnt yesterday about the scramble for Africa, while we have seen a power point.


Daniel and Ángel have asked about why Africa was distributed and Paqui has answered them that the african people couldn´t defend because they were inferior in weapons and in technology.


In the powerpoint there is a picture where you can see people without a hand, there are also children. Then Paqui has explained us that our maps of empires are bad, because there are people that didn´t write any name and the people who wrote the names they had some mistakes. After that Ana Isabel has read a part of the big colonial empires and Paqui has explained it and later she has explained the Imperialism of the U.S.A, Japan and China.


In China Imperialism there were two opium wars between China and U.K., for this reason China reacted trained to attack and defend them.


We have spoken about some american factories as IPad and Apple, they are american factories but they products were manufactured in China because the workers works as slaves.


We also spoke about: Hong Kong, Popular democracy, Communist Party...


When Mari Luz was going to read the consequences of Colonism the bell has rung. Paqui has given us the exercises 9, 10 and 11.

Hello!

I've seen a mistake:
-in line 1; instead of: sumary of we saw, it should be.. Paqui has explained with a little sumary the things that we saw....

In my opinion, you can explain a little more about the opium's wars. For example that the UK won, and for this reason China has to reacted.
This is all for my part.

Bye! See you tomorrow

Hello Bea, I think that you have to check some things:
-It´s better to say a summery about the things we learnt yesterday…
-While we have seen a power point
-Africa was distributed
-African people, no africans.
-American…
-The products were manufactured in China because….the workers work.
You can also say why the people has only a hand, and explain the territories that Japan and the U.S.A occupied and the reaction of China.

Hello Bea! Very good journal!
But you have to put the source behind the image. And I think you can complete the journal more because you only put the the things we have learned but you can explained it a little more how is it about and like this.
Bye bye see you on monday. Have a good weekend.
