  1. Interaction with the class was good, and pointing out that amendments are serious business when it comes to Government was great (When pointing out how long the US has been around, and just how many have been passed).

    My only real criticism would concern the slide show. You may want to try a light text on a dark slide next time.

    1. I thought you did well. I learned a lot. I did not know that they had added 2 amendments to the already 27. I watched a movie called The Untouchables with Sean Connor. It is about the prohibition.. Check it out. I thought you had great interaction with each other.

  2. You guys did really well. You guys had great information and you can tell you guys practiced on it and didnt just put it together.One thing I learned was that the Prohibition took two of the 27th amendments.

  3. i never knew that prohibition took 2 amendments. you guys did really good. you talked about the laws, how people reacted to it, how the president even vetoed it, and who took advantage out of the situation and made money from it.

  7. Good job on your presentation. I liked the pictures you had in your slide show and how you talked about the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. When I went to Chicago I saw the building that it happened in so it was cool that you guys brought it up.

  9. Your presentation was so well put together, you were extremely knowledgeable and presented your research very well. You mentioned something about how the color was dark, and that was something I commented on too. In the future I would try to anticipate that, how your presentation will look on a bigger screen to a varying audience. Your knowledge on prohibition and the effects on other events in history really showed, I enjoyed your presentation!

  10. Was there a specific politician or political group that pushed for the prohibition? or was it a particular person that took action in its repeal?

  11. It was good but i think it could have been more detailed. It was organized well and had good information. Also, the was it was presented was a little general.
