Favelas

The houses in favelas are made from stone, tiles, metal and wood. ** This is what favelas look like. **

People in the Amazon Rainforest

Hello dogcat2, * this is a very interesting looking page. *I like the colours - they are the colours of Brazil! * I also like the pictures being the same size - it looks tidy. -> The different coloured sections made me think you had separated your information into sections, but actuallly it is all mixed up! You could use your colour scheme to dive you different sections. Eg, a population section, and an amazon section, etc. Mrs W.

lots of beautiful clours and lots of great info aswell ang i love the pichters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOOBSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice pictures. It might be good to change the yellow writing. It hurts my eyes. MickyR

very good, yellow hurts my eyes too, like MickeyR said. lots of information. monkey.i xxx

I like the different coloured sections and think the pictures suit it well. There is some very good information and the facts are cool. Mabey you could regulate the picture sizes. 13dolphin p.s **__the yellow does not hurt my eyes__**
 * Well done for experimenting with tables, dogcat2. * The way you have used colours for the different sections is a fantastic way of dividing the sections up. It makes it so clear that as soon as you change colour, you have moved to a different section. -> I think your main title ought to stand out more, though. -> Also, do get help with the table. You could do with another column for the map, rather than putting it onto a different row. Mrs W.
