Blog 13: Presentation reviews




Nicole’s and Ellen’s PowerPoint presentation that was given last week was indeed exquisite. Every aspect it included, from the topic to the slide designs were fascinating. Their production presented Margaret Sanger’s speech, “The Children’s Era”. Sanger’s speech discussed her views on legalizing birth control, obviously displaying her pro-birth control opinions. This effective and persuasive speech successfully covered all aspects of SOAPST as well as included all three claims. The speech had a classical oration structure; however a Toulmin model was also able to be made due to the flexibility of the speech. Aside from the argumentative techniques Sanger used, she also included literary devises such as anaphora and metaphor. Referring back to Nicole’s and Ellen’s actual presentation, they indeed did justice to Sanger and her speech with their presentation. The slides were lengthy, informative, and they sure delivered during the verbal discussion. They had wonderful knowledge of the topic and maintained a decent amount of eye contact with the audience. Even though they included some pictures, a few more would have made their project even more vibrant. Out of all eight or so presentations that were given, this particular project made one think the most. The topic displayed was one, which most people can relate too. It is an important topic frequently discussed in today’s day. Well done, Ellen and Nicole!
