Earth Problems Presentations

Today in class we saw each other's presentations. I found them pretty interesting, how we all think the same but different at the same time. It is awesome that we all think that the Earth is really being affected and that we should make a change, still not everybody sees that we Humans are the real problem here. I think that we humans are the ones affecting the Earth the most because we are the ones who want more power. When we humans want more power we a re willing to do anything to get it, and once we have it many people will want that power too. Now that I saw the presentations of other people, I think I could add some more information. Still, most of the presentations I saw today have the written summaries on the slides, and I find that kind of annoying. Instead of PRESENTING (which is what a Power Point is for...) they READ and "entertain" you. In the other hand, I have photos and pictures to show my points while I describe them. I find that kind of a better characteristic in Power Points because it entertains the people more and doesn't let them fall asleep. If I did my own presentation again, I would write the citations at the end, which is something I totally forgot. I don't think it is THAT important right now, but in the future it may be a sign of plagiarism (which I am completely innocent of). Still, hope y'all enjoyed my presentation.

Meet Your Meat - PETA Organization

The following video has reached hundreds of hearts, but it is still not enough. Please help us, and yourself, to make the correct choice. People today are not aware of the real damage we, as humans, are causing. Killing animals is not the correct answer to anything, not even to starvation. We are not asking you to change your routine, but it would be wonderful if you could. The meat they sell today has more chemicals in it that affect your body in a slow way. Please, don't keep on ignoring the problems we are facing today. Help us make a change, and you will also be rewarded. This is our Earth, we humans are the most powerful organism alive in this planet. With all that power, lets make the correct choices.

School Mistakes

Well, we are humans. What else can we say? Everyday at least 99% of the humans have to make a mistake, whether it is a silly one or a serious one. The most common mistake in Power Point Presentations I've seen in this class is overwriting. Whenever we have to make a Power Point Presentation, there's at least five presentations that have overwriting. By overwriting I mean people who write their COMPLETE ideas instead of putting their points. I remember during fifth and sixth grade with Miss Kim we had to make Book Talks. I really miss them, but not that much to make one. Most kids, I realized, wrote their complete summaries instead of ideas. That took the interest away of their presentations, except if the book was really interesting. I remember Pedro's and Mahonry's presentation including the WHOLE summary, which was kind of boring. While they read their summaries, I remember being half asleep. Also, their spelling and grammar. Many people don't proof read their work, so their assignments are full of mistakes that are just annoying when you look at them. People should at least see their presentations when they are done with them, to look for mistakes and to at least practice what and how they are going to present. Still, we are humans and make mistakes.
