  1. Positive: Presented this without using note cards all that much. Very interesting and the clip of the new show looks very intriguing.

    Criticism (Constructive): Looked anxious/nervous. It was a very well put together presentation you guys had nothing to be worried about! Stood close to each other as well, maybe would have liked to see one of you on one side of the slideshow and one on the other.

  2. I've never learned about the California Gold Rush, I enjoyed the presentation! Especially how you guys talked about how it's relevant in society today. With lotteries, casinos, and even tv shows. I've never thought about it in that way and how people take those risks and chances hoping for such a large reward. Made me think, I liked that. To make the presentation better I felt like you guys didn't feel confident in your project. It was good and know that! It will help the crowd stay engaged when you're excited to teach the audience.

  3. I didn't really know much about your topic, but I did find it to be very interesting. I mean to see people who really dedicate their lives to finding gold, not knowing the outcome that they would get. I do feel that you guys could have explained the topic maybe a little more, but it was a good presentation.

  4. Great information, I think you did a great job being prepared and having good information. Great job not using a lot of notecards or reading off your powerpoint you had the information down.

    You looked nervous, relax and go a at a slower pace next time. Your presentation and information was great, you had no reason to worry or speed through it.

  5. I enjoyed listening to the presentation! I have never really heard much about the California Gold Rush, so it was nice to learn about it. I find it interesting that people dedicate their whole life to finding gold, and will spend their life savings just to find the gold. I thought the video you chose was very good.

    I think the presentation could have been a little more longer. The information was very good but maybe next time do not look so nervous. Good job!

  6. I found this very interesting and you were very familiar with your subject. I found the video to be the more interesting and helpful. People spending their money to try and make more money was definitely fascinating.
    It could have been a bit longer but other than that it was great.

  7. I thought your two's topic was a very interesting choice. I thought some of the information that was shared wasn't necesarily needed for the goal of the presentation, but overall it was a good presentation and you had my attention the whole time. I also thought you used a good video clip.

  8. I really enjoyed your topic. The video you showed is from a very interesting show that i actually watch on discovery! I thought that your slides were very visually appealing. A point of constructive criticism is that you guys seemed a bit nervous. You were both kind of huddled together in the corner. Next time try to spread out to help engage the entire class.

  9. I was really interested in your topic, and everything that you guys had to say about it. The video that you presented to us made me laugh because that's a show that I watch sometimes on the Discovery channel! That caught my attention the most.

    The only thing i would switch up for future presentations is more movement while presenting. I thought that you guys could've taken advantage of the space a little more in the front of the classroom! It often helps me stay alert when speakers decide to walk around while they're speaking. Other than that, I really really enjoyed the facts and insight that you guys presented about the California Gold Rush! Excellent work!

  11. I enjoyed learning about this topic. I had no knowledge of it before you guys presented it in class. You guys seemed like you knew your information and I liked how you added that tv show clip into it! Next time just make it a little longer and engage more with the class. Other then that, it was a great presentation!

  12. I liked the video you guys showed on the present gold hunters. I never knew that people actually made it their lives to go out and find gold. I think you guys did a good job. Only criticism would be to give more information. It seemed kind of short. Good job though.

  13. Nice presentation. The notecard wasn't even necessary when you were up there, so you really knew your facts. Nice use of the tv show footage as well. A little short but over all nice job!

  14. i thought You guys had the best connection of all the presentations. The connection between The American Dream and the California Gold Rush and how the dream changed was absolutly brilliant! Great Job! The only imporvement that could have been made was mentioning a little more informartion about the negatives of the gold rush.
