Blog Post Five: First Day of Presentations

In this post, I have written down a little bit of information about a few Islands which were presented. 

Day One:

1.         Barbados.

c. there are strong English influences. The Ameridians originally occupied the islands. Evidence of this was found and dated back by 2,000 years.

d. In today’s society, is the island family friendly?

e. She had a LOT of factual information, which worked for her, because it looked like she was comfortable with it. 

f. She should have not put so many facts in it, because it got very boring very quickly.

g. There was a lot of writing, and I wish that more information about the island was presented, rather than the history. A lot of the class got lost as she was presenting.

h. 

2.         Haiti

c. Haiti struggles with history, geography, economy, population religion and government.

d. Is Haiti the poorest country in the Caribbean? What happened with the corruption after the earthquake?

e. Although this was also factual, she presented captivating images which brought the audience in to her topic and presentation.

f. She said “um” a lot, which slowed her presentation down.

g. I liked the images, they were powerful.

h. 

3. British Virgin Islands

c.  Holidays are special to them and have meaning.

d. I would have liked to know how festivals represent their country, not just about festivals in general.

e. She had good images which helped bring in the audience.

f. She should blankly say things, she needs to go into details with examples.

g. The images were great!

h. 

4. Anguilla

c. I learned how the history effected its culture and how food and music are very important to Anguilla, and how the primary income is luxury tourism.

d. Everything was actually accounted for; all my questions were answered.

e. There was music, images, and good facts. Everything was well put together.

f. He should have split the paragraphs a little bit more.

g. It was really good over all!!
