Josh,
Good work telling the basic story of going from foraging to farming! It was creative
how you used images from a video game. Was it only that foraging gave us less time to
make children or were there other things? Your comic did a nice job of telling the basic
story of how farming improved our lives.

Keitaro,
This was a good basic story. Be sure to capitalize your title! (The Big Change)
Nice transitions! I liked the old black and white photograph of the people studying. I
also liked the basic language the prehistoric people used when talking.

Courtney,
Excellent job integrating the facts! I appreciate you going back to your
notes and reading them again. 95% of the time humans have been on Earth
has been spent foraging and only 5% farming.

Sahand,
I though the rain effect was really awesome. This was a creative story. Maybe it
happened like this. Who knows? You would think farming would be pretty easy to
invent, right? Nice work!

Lily,
I'm sorry you ran into some technical problems. I don't know what happened. When I
did get a chance to read your comic strip, I remember the landscape and props being
well chosen and the theme of your story was very interesting.
