Since its now 2016 I think its appropriate that we look back at the year 2015 and reflect upon the things that happened in that year.
First, lets look at some photos.
Go to the following websites and look at the photos there. On your blog post your THREE (3) favorites and tell me why it was your favorite photo of the year. I have included a few websites for you to look at, spend at least 20 minutes looking at these sites. You may have to wait for the images to load AND you may need to search out the images on Google as you probably can't download the image directly. You will also probably have a slideshow to look at - please make sure you are looking at more than the first photo. You should read the stories of those photos you find compelling.

Second, lets write about some things you found interesting this year. Below I have listed 5 prompts - on your blog please find a photo that goes with each prompt and then write a paragraph about each. Why did you chose that as your main choice, what things attracted you to that choice and why was it the best of 2015? To help you a little I have put a link below the prompt that may or may not help you. You are free to find your own sources.
