Which of these areas did you excel in?
I feel that we did excel in being creative (primarily for the great idea of spiral, but failed to carry it out); being concise as info is straightforward; being accurate by getting on point with what was asking; being attractive for the non-tedious look.
Which were not so well represented?
We did not represent the government's responses to the action, although we have the info. At the same time, we should have included some basic facts, such as costs, numbers of cleaning up days...so that it could be more specific and informative. The infographic also did not carry out so well the devastation of the incident.

b. Even though we worked well the information we found was sort of the same so it wasn't that much information that was deep into it.
c. Try to use primary source documents to get the present point of view from that time.
