  • 8/9 Mural Colonial Economy
    I liked how the Economy group explained what was going on in the pictures. Also it was very nice how they showed people trading. I didn't understand why they had a raft in the middle of the shore though.

  • 3/4 Salem Witch Trial Newspaper Gardening
    I liked how Waters provided not only plants that could help cure sicknesses but she showed fences that where pleasing to the eye. Was there a flower or plant that could keep the Devil away?
    Great Job!

  • 8/9 Salem Witch Trials Newspaper,
    I liked the articles in the newspaper. I thought they were informational and well-researched. However, I think the webpage is hard to navigate. You could have worked on the layout. I do like how the background for each aritcle is different, though. Great job overall!

  • 8/9 Colonial Economy Mural,
    I like how you explain what is going on in the mural with captions. This makes it easier to understand than some of the other murals. It is kind of hard to tell what some of the things on the beach are, however. What is the gray square floating in the water? Good job!

  • 8/9 Salem Witch Trial Newspaper Gossip Column,
    Very Funny! I loved how you made it seem like real gossip, and it was stuff that they would realy gossip about too! The Red and orange were a little hard to read, but it ws great otherwise.
    Great Job!

    I think that they did a good job on explaining what characteristics were like in what a whitch supposedly was like. I also thought that they were not afraid to be funny. But there were some run-on sentences, and incorrect grammer. But there wasn't that much.
    Good Job!

  • 8/9 Colonial Economy Mural
    There was one group group who I thought did really well, because they explained what was going on. It looked like most groups spent a lot of time, and detail for these murals. But some didn't explain what was going on in the mural, so it was confusing. What was going on in the first mural on the list about education?

    I eally liked the whole paper. I liked how the articles were well researched and presented well. Sometimes it was hard to read the writing because of the background, but otherwise it was great!!!

    I liked how the economy group explained what their pictures were showing. Also all of the points that they put into their mural were good ideas and they were good examples of colonial economy. Although I did not understand what some of the pictures were trying to show. Good job!!!!

  • 8/9 Timeline of Colonial Education
    I liked how the Education group showed how the boy grew up and changed throughout his lifetime, and how they showed his school and Harvard, but I thought it was odd that they had HOME last instead of first, because you grow up at home before you go to school.

    I thought that Ary did a great job with making good and funny ads. I also think it looks and sounds like she put a lot of time into this project, and it payed off. The only thing I think is a little odd is the fact that so many words are spelled differently.

  • 3/4 Mural Colonial Education
    I liked that everything was neat and simple. It also looked like as town rather than just what they studied for education. I didn't understand why they put the cross on Harvard but not on the church.

  • 3/4 Salem Witch Trial Newspaper: More Horoscopes.
    I liked how they gave advice for each horoscope that went well with the time period. For Scorpio it says to stay away from people with purple hats and blue shoe, did they have purple hats and blue shoes back then?

  • I looked at teh 3/4 newpaper becasue i did the 8/9 one and I also looked a the 8/9 murals. I reallly liked teh layout of the newspaper, but I think that it could have been made to seem more newspaper-ish. I didn't notice any typos though, so taht was good.
    teh murals were all good but in some it was hard to tell waht was going on, I think taht some of the painting was doen a little bit sloppily and if it had been doen more neatly it might have been clearer. Teh artwork was good though.
    Good job to everyone!

  • In the period 8/9 Salem Witch Trials Newspaper, I think that the "Witch Fever Sweeping Salem" article was written like a real newspaper article, was descriptive and I liked how it gave the author's opinion on what the future of the witch trials would be like. Was Sarah Wilds a real person or was she made up for the article?

    In the period 8/9 murals, I liked how the "Timeline of Colonial Education" group showed the schools on a road with a growing man walking down. It is nice how everything is labeled so that you can tell what everything is. It says "Puritan Education", but could people who practiced other religions go to the schools too?

    Excelent job, the painting is sharp and clear, as are the letters. What is the building on the left? The light blue used in the middle bubble seems very odd and does not feel right. Extreemly good job overall though, I just had to post these comments and questions because I was forced to.

    The mural is good and it really shows the daily life in colonial times. But they didn't finish the two people's heads. Also, why is the table on the wall, and what is on the table?

    I thought the two interviews were very well written. In the first interview by Frankie you could tell he worked very hard on researching Martha Cory and try to sound like her. In the second interview by Jamie you could tell he worked hard and did a great job as the reporter trying not to pick sides.
    Nice Job!!

    I wasn't exactly clear on how this was a 'timeline.' My best guess is that the people were walking from earlier schools to later schools and that the road was the timeline. If I'm correct, this was a very imaginative and well-rendered idea.

    The collum is funny and "informative." I liked how the author made the collum sound like modern day gossip, although of course it is set in the time of the trials. However, the backround makes it hard to right and hurts your eyes. Also, the author didn't sign it! Good job overall though!

    I liked how the group put facts like what would really happen in a situation where someone was accused of witchcraft. It was kinda cute too. I didn't think it added to the paper though when someone put in that she said….no. no. no… AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” because that really took away the time /cutural difference. Also, the color in the other side was hard to read.
