Today in the class of social sciences we have started reading and talking about a text that Paqui published last Sunday. Last Sunday was the 12th of October, it's a importat day because we celebrate the "discovery of América" by Columbus. The text talks about all these things. Also we have seen some photos to think about what, the discovery supposed the indigenous people that live in América.

Hello,
These are my comments and corrections. Erase the things in brackets and correct the words highlighted in bold:
- Last Sunday was the 12th of October,
- photos to think about what(,)the discovery supposed the indigenous people that lived in América.
- he part of the scheme about the Indies... that we had to complete at home.Remember to write Indies in capital letters. It's a proper noun.
- two systems to exploit the indigenous peoples
You could have explained the encomienda and mita system a little bit and you can give your opinion about them.
That's all. Bye!
