Reflection

I posted comments to Oscar Acosta and Michael Dominquez I learned from my classmates that the visuals and images grab the attention of the reader and how they will react when reading the topic. Also, the QRG's give a brief explanation of the topic and sometimes the Q & A's give a better format.
