Culture Presentations-part 2

As you know we have to blog about the culture presentations we saw last week and I really enjoyed listening to them-everyone did a great job.  Even though I’m not going to take the KGP I’ve chosen 5 topics I would like to be tested on if I took the exam. 

Here are my thoughts to the 11 presentations I went to see.

The USA culture topics:

San Francisco and the Bay Area : Marina did a great job with her presentation and I really enjoyed listening to her. Her PowerPoint was quite impressive and I loved the pictures!

Two more for Mount Rushmore:  I thought that Katharina really knew what she was talking about and made an effort on her prezi. 

The Danger of Society Threat Groups in American Prisons: Wow- Livia made an already good topic even more interesting. I saw some documentaries about this brotherhood so I had some background information about that and I have to say Livia really nailed it! =)

Southern Hospitality: I had to see this presentation just because of Julia. I knew beforehand that she would do an amazing job and I was right! I just loved the way she presented herself and the topic.

Monty Roberts: Although I’m not very much into horses (actually I’m a little bit afraid of them) I think this method of training horses is pretty amazing. Melanie was very calm during her presentation and you felt that she actually believes what she was saying.

America as a nation of narcissism: What a great topic! I loved what Maria did with it. I really enjoyed listening to it and I would have liked to here more about it.

Sacagawea: I liked the topic very much and Bianca researched it very well. We worked together on our CLI project last semester which was “Louisiana Purchase” so I thought it was great to see her presenting this topic.

The Navajo Code Talkers: Puh! What an amazing presentation!! For me Laura’s performance was the best of all I had seen. I liked that she pronounced some of the Navajo words. Very interesting topic+great PowerPoint+ amazing presenter= Awesome presentation!

The Ireland topics:

Newgrange: When I was in Ireland a few years ago we wanted to visit this place but unfortunately we didn’t so I decided to see the presentation and I wasn’t disappointed. Now I want to see it even more.

Irish Dance: I very much liked this topic and on my trip to Ireland we actually had a little Irish Dance class and it was so much fun. The presentation itself was okay. Not one of the best but it was hard because everyone before did such a great job.

Psychiatry in Ireland: I loved this presentation. Diana really knew how to get everyone’s attention. It was one of my favorite presentations this day because she completely amazed me with her performance.

The 5 presentations I would choose if I took the KGP are: Southern Hospitality, The danger of Society Threat Groups in American Prisons, Navajo Code Talkers, America as a nation of narcissism and Monty Roberts.
