Presentations

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.

  1. I agree that Damon's presentation had a strong emotional appeal through the two stories he used; it made the argument of the importance of music more relatable and inspirational.

  2. I think that both of these boys did a great job. They made their presentations both informative and entertaining. I think it's great that Eddie has cut back his tv viewing a lot. Damon's examples of Chris Rene and Jamar Rogers were both very inspiring.
