#1 Think about the presentations and reflect on the projects your classmates presented and the information you listened to. Explain with details and specific information what you learned, what you found interesting, surprising, or shocking about the presentations you heard in class.

Overall everyone in Block H did a great job with their presentations. I definitely learned a lot about each UN World Issue. The world issues for Block H were Governance, Peacekeeping, International Law, Education, and Biodiversity. Governance did a great job with their PowerPoint. They added some entertainment to their slideshow and they also included a lot of information. I learned how to tell if Governance is good or not and basically what it is. These are a few examples of what good Governance is:

·         Free, fair, and many elections

·         A good judiciary that follows laws correctly

If Governance is the opposite that means that the governance is bad. The Peacekeeping presentation showed me what is was really like out there and it really helped me to see what happened in same places of the world. Peacekeeping was soldiers who protected the ones in need of protection like in DARFUR. International Law presented with a lot of information. International Law was just the general laws throughout nations. Education was an interesting topic because it was shocking that not many of the people in the world have education. Finally I learned the most about Biodiversity (the study of plants and animals) because it was my topic.

#2 What would you change to improve your project/presentation if you were to do the assignment again?

To improve my project I would next time make sure that the text on my iMovie is readable and big so that people know what is going on. Also I would maybe add narration so that everyone can see and hear what is going on. Time management was a crisis for my group so I would next time work harder in class and make sure to get all my stuff done. I hope I still did a good job though!
