Activity #3 (use mixbook)

Create your album !
We have been working with the unit plan on Experiences. We have read about people who have experienced wild trips to Africa, extreme sports like bungee jumping or cultural trips to India.
You are now requested to work on a personal experience you had (real or an imaginary one!) You must upload your photos or pictures and add an individual comment on each one.

Follow the next tips to create your mixalbum.
