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.

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.
