3321 PRESENTATION: ????

The last presentation - was not clear at all. I don't even know what it was about much less what the name of it was. It was very poorly presented.

3321 PRESENATATION: AMELIA EARHEART

The Amelia Earheart presentation was based on a true story. I like that it started with Amelia's interview on a talk show. The power point pictures were vivid and informative. I liked that much of her childhood was covered in the interview because that is usually left out and we do not really get to know the person's way of life. This presentation was cute, well prepared as well as presented.

3321 PRESENTATION: ESPERANZA RISING

Esperanza Rising was presented very nicely. It was about a rich girl who had to learn to transition her lifestyle and be able to live in the blue collar way of life. After her father died, she and her mother were robbed from their rightful inheritance by an uncle. Her mother refused to marry him and Esperanza agreed with her mother. Thus causing them to run into a world they had never known before.

I believe that is what is occuring to alot of people today due to the economy. Esperanza had to adjust in not having the finer things in life and go to work as well as her mother; but through it all Esperanza became strong and rose above all she thought was the worst thing that could have happed to her and her mother. The activity was cute as well.

3321 PRESENTSTION: THE DIARY OF ANN FRANK

The Diary of Ann Frank was very, very interesting and informational. The Power Point that showed the pictures of the concentration camp were horrid, but that is good because that is what it was meant to do. I liked the presentation because it was based on a true story. Ann Frank lived, suffered, dreamed, and died not fulfilling her dreams like so many people. The horrible thing is that Ann Frank died at a very young age; in her early to mid teens. But through her diary she will live for generations to come.

The activity was to the point and made a person think of what Ann Frank and others went through to stay alive. It felt like being boxed in alive in a coffin. I believe that the dreams Ann Frank had are what kept her alive even if it was for those few years. I think the presentation was very well prepared and presented.
