Connecticut was established in 1636. in 1639, Thomas Hooker helped drafted the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut.
I couldn't have lived like the Puritans/ Pilgrims in New England. their lifestyle are out-of-date. I couldn't let my parents choose the marriage partner for me.
I look forward to filming again. however, I still didn't read the book~~> I can't choose a topic now.

did you mean that 10 was the highest ? if it's the highest point, I will give the pp 9. most of my notes are from the pp, but sometimes the pp doesn't have enough info.
this week,I was absent for 3 days. I had to take the test on Wednesday and then I was sick for 2 days left [I don't know how to call that test's name :]. on 2 days at class, I learned much about the Americans' colonies , but nothing really attracted me.
If I could have been apart of any country's team of explorers, I wouldn't choose France's team. it's just because I like France.
in fact, my group is still the same. if my group had a change, I would try to have a positive reaction with my new group.

If I was to give our film a rating, I would give 7 ! it's funny and the background music really fit with it.
I think making the film during the lecture help us enhance the lecture. it also makes us feel more interested in history.
now I don't have any idea for other subjects. I believe that our subject is ok for us.
one thing I remember from the lecture...uhmmmm.....maybe it's the Inca empire. I don't know why but those words came into my mind first. perhaps I like its architecture and terrain.
ps : where was you this afternoon, Miss G ? I found the name of the man,but you were not in the class ~~> I couldn't earn extra credit T_T

for me,it's kind of difficult to think of an idea to creatively express history.
I think that I worked well with all my group, but Randy was the one that I did the best.
for the previous film, Randy was the leader of my group. He did very well ! most of the ideas came from him.
sometimes, we were in the rush, but finally, we were done. I think that we had enough time.
my character in the film was Clava [ I don't remember how to type the name >.< ]- one of the survivors that reached to present-day Texas. If I had more time, I would read the book more carefully and think more about what to put in the film.

I must confess that I don't remember much about your lecture =.=!!!! however, one thing that I remember was the video clip of Magellan's voyage. it's so cute and funny ! because of that clip, I can memorize the voyage of Magellan more easily:)
of course I'm looking forward to making a historical film for the next section. I'm reading the book and I try to think about what our group will do in this film.
If I could add one more person to my group, I would ask you to choose for me or I would choose that person randomly. I want to try collaborating with everyone, as long as they're responsible for the film.
