History Head Comments

Hello Xin!
I really like how you circle the number in sharpie so then it is clear what theme each image relates to and I admire how you were able to associate one picture with two themes. However, you could have been neater with the timeline perhaps by using a ruler. Mayan and Egyptian societies were similiar in architecture because they both built pyamid-like structures. They differed in organization because Egypt was a unified state with a pharoah as the supreme ruler while the Maya were organized in small city-kingdoms. Why did you choose not to have an outside picture for theme two?

Hello Johnathon!
I really like the simplicity of your poster. The layout is also very organized. However, I believe it would have looked better if you had cut out the head. I see a picture of a river on your poster which reminds me of the differences between Mesopotamian and Mayan society because the emergence of Mesopotamian society revolved arond the Tigris and Euphrates river valley whereas Mayan society had no major river but instead settled on the Yucatan peninsula. Both societies had similiar organization. Mesopotamia had a decentralized rule with kings ruling over city-states similiar to how the Maya was organized in small city-kingdoms. For image #4 on the outside, what animal is being depicted?
