I think that this was a great passion time because, it taught me that coins don't just come in things like Drachma(Greek) and American currency, they come in all shapes and sizes! Like a decagon, or with a hole in the middle of the coin! I think it helped my 21st century skills because, it made me problem solve, collaborate, and research. And that is my reflection.

The was my favorite passion time because it helped me learn about the coolness of the foirnen coins because i never new about the coins that had that why i liked the project. It also helped me with my researching skills.
It was also fun learning about all of the coins and even learning of a new type of coin. That is the reason that this passion time was so fun.

What I think you need to do is to maybe add some images of how people used the coins and what they would commonly buy with them. But still... LOVED IT!!!!

I thought that you explained very well. However you could look up or ask someone how to say things. This could have been used for the Pesos and bank of Taiwan.

Hello Michael and Charlie,

My name is Brianna. I'm a Grade 11 student from Ms. Lees' Project Design class in British Columbia, Canada. I really enjoyed watching your project about coins! I didn't know there was so much history behind all of them! Your video was very informative, and helpful to people who want to learn more about coins. My favourite part was when you started talking about the Canadian coin! Fun fact: we call our $1 coins loonies, and our $2 coins are called toonies! :)

Some things to consider for next time:
-make sure to not read off the screen all the time (try to memorize)
-make sure you are completely facing the camera the whole time
-speak in a loud, clear voice :)

As well, I have some questions for you:

- Whose coin collection is it? Where did you get the coins?
- Which is your favourite coin?
