Hi, I'm Carlos!!

Today, in Social Sciences class, we have continued with the board game of the Indies, the 16th and 17th centuries.

My group is formed by: Antonio, Benjamin, Jaime and me. Today in my group we have written the questions on the cards and then Paqui has asked us about what we were doing. At home, we have to finish the questions and we have to do the board, the tokens and the dice.

Our game is going to be like a high school with some rooms. Each room is going to be for a person ( Charles I, Philip II...), so you have to advance to visit all the rooms. When you have finished all the rooms, you have to go to a final room. In this one you will have to answer the final question.

This is a photo of our cards:

Today was the last lesson before the exam. At the beggining of the lesson, Amalia and other people have asked questions about the tomorrow's exam. After this, we have continued wigh the industrial revolution. We had homework for today: complete the scheme about the changues in production and transport revolution, because we don't had time in Monday's lesson. On this scheme we have completed Different sections. In the industries that developed most (textile industry and iron and steel industry), we have seen on the digitalboard some examples about this. Paqui has explained some inventions that appeared in this time. For example in textile industry the flyiung shuttle, by kye, and the power loom, bye Edmund Cartwright. In the iron and steel industry we have seen the Bessemer converter and the blast finnances. At the middle of the class, we have learnt the consequences of this innovations. In general the production increased and the prices decreased. At the end of the class, Paqui have explained us the transport revolution. We haven't seen all because we haven't had enough time, but we have seen the beggining and the risk of the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere.
