Eddie-
I liked his use of a prezi. It went fast at times, but it wasnt overwhelming. For his experiment, he unplugged his tv so he wouldnt watch it. I enjoyed that topic for an experiment because I can relate. I watch a lot of tv. His onformation about how not watching tv can help your physical and mental health really persuaded me to try to not watch tv as much.
Damon-
His presentation on expressing the importance of music in people's lives was interesting. I enjoyed his personal examples he used. The videos about the two people who are/were on the tv shows were interesting. Chris Rene got off of drugs to start music and has been clean for eight months. Jamar Rogers quit meth six years ago, is HIV+ not expected to live passed thirty, but just had his 30th birthday. These two stories evoke an emotional appeal which I think added a lot to Damon's presentation.

Presentations.
Jeff- "It's not your fault"
I enjoyed jeff's presentation about depression. I felt he gave good information about depression (like signs, symptoms, etc.). I also felt that his personal stories were very intersting, yet sad. I feel they added credibility and effect to his presentation. I always enjoyed his words of encouragement like "it's not your fault" and "bullies are cowards". I feel he cam eoff as very knowledgable about his topic because he has experienced depression first hand.

Chris- "Exercise your brain."
I enjoyed Chris's presentation about the importance of mental stimulation and preventing memory loss. His experiment was doing crossowrds puzzles everyday; this helped to expand his vocab and help exercise his memory capacity. Throughout his speech he uses expert quotations and i thought that those added credibility and clarity. He used a statistic that Alzheimer's dsease is predicted to double by 2050. A statistic that I didn't know that I thought was interesting and surprising was that chronic stress is capable of killing brain cells by the millions. I found this very surprising because every person has stress in their life everyday. Overall his presentation was organized and interesting.

Presentation Blog
Luke-
Luke did his presentation on lucid dreaming. I liked his use of tumblr as his multimodal. In his presentation a quote that he made that i found very interesting was "I wanted to control a part of my life that I didn't control before." I had never really thought about dreaming the way that he explained today. He explained that about half of our lives are spent sleeping, so why not enjoy and take control of that time by lucid dreaming. It is unconscious and everyone can, and may even have experience lucid dreaming before. I, overall, just thought his presentation was very interesting.

Multimodal
For my multimodal project, i am thinking about doing a photo essay type of powerpoint. i think it will be a good emotional appeal for my topic and argument. it will touch on a serious topic, and i think it will really reach out to people to show pictures and maybe even brief stories of people who have eating disorders.

What is text?
text is written words that express one's thoughts, feelings, and idea. text can be in a book, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc. text has also expanded over the years to technological communication, also. there are online articles, social networking sites, emails, as well as text messaging. i believe these are all "text" because its explressing your thoughts and ideas through words, no matter where they are written.
