Next for the create, I had to first think of a place I have been or dreamed of or going too. Then I had to make a copy of the google drawing template. Using the polyline tool I could recreate the images on the side or make my own of what I was dreaming or where I am going to. I created 1 of the images on the side because I didn’t have any idea of what to create. On the side I had to add a message or a poem, I did a poem of a Haiku.

Tohatoha | Share

Lastly for share, I had to download my google drawing as a PNG and share it on my blog. I had to answer a question which is – Why would my image make a great place to visit and who would I go with.

My image would be a great place to visit because the sunset scenery is the best. I would go with my family.
