Presentations: Day 3

I thought Malika's presentation on the genocide in Darfur was eye opening. I know that I didn't have much knowledge on the subject at all really, except for the few episodes of E.R that touched on it. I would hardly accept that E.R is a good place to get information on such an important topic though. I'm sure her paper will better highlight what is happening in Africa and how the U.S should be more aware of the horrible things that happen in other countries. As for Lauren's presentation, I was more heart wrenched than I thought I would be. Most of my immediate family has A.D.D, and with A.D.H.D being so close in relation to simply A.D.D, I found her topic really important. Most people don't realize how it affects peoples' families. I know it was difficult watching my siblings struggle, especially when in the back of your mind you know that they are smart enough to accomplish the things that they have difficulties with. As for Joyce's presentation, I also thought researching alternative schooling methods was notable topic. It will be interesting to see what direction she decides to take when writing her paper. I think the more that she researches, the more it will help her narrow down her critical points and have a really informative paper
