Presentations Day 1

Everyone who presented on the first day did a great job overall. I enjoyed myself and took notes for each presenter. The following are the countries discussed in class, and one thing I took away from each presentation.

Barbados (Erin): This presentation focused on the “Forgotten Cultures and People of Barbados”. The presentation was aesthetically pleasing as well as very informative. I was very surprised to learn about the “red legs” or 50,000 Irish indentured servants and slaves that came to the island as a result of the English.

Haiti (DeAsha): “The Development of Haiti”. I liked how she began her presentation with a creole greeting and how she used good images.

British Virgin Islands (Ebony): In this presentation the presenter discussed “How the holidays celebrated reflect the country’s History”. Good video at the end of the presentation.

Dominica (Rebecca): Clean presentation, concise and well organized. Excellent video at the end of her making a traditional drink! Great effort!

Anguilla (Ruben): Colorful slides, enjoyed the background music. Was easy to follow along with.

Martinique (Laura): Good images.

Bahamas (Sierra): Liked the personal pictures! Learned that Bahamas gained independence in 1973, not that long ago.

Suriname (Harley): Enjoyed the bright and colorful pictures and slides.
