“The Times They Are A-Changin'”

We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over     a period of time. You have already chosen something that has changed over time (a city or place, some type of technology, the food industry, the environment, global issues,  schools, families, sports, etc). Through writing and images posted on your blog, you are going to write about how that thing used to be and how it has changed today.
