Group #1: Show Me the Money by Dana, Thor, Ben and JB
For the most part, this group was very persuasive, effective and well prepared. I found that there was too much text on the slides and that most of what the speakers had to say was written on the slides. It would have been better if the slides had shorter, more concise points. However, I think the presenters made up for this error by making eye contact with the audience and projecting their voices. I think they did a good job of relating to the audience and putting us in there point of view particularly with the editorial. It was comical, relevant, and persuasive. I'm still not entirely convinced that college athletes should receive payment, but I am convinced that they deserve financial security should they become injured.
Group #2: Fast Food in America by Matt Jose and Brett
This group was very good at relating to the audience with their anecdotal support, for example, talking about how fast food always sounds really satisfying late at night, or how one might crave fast food like they might crave a cigarette. With this anecdotal support they were able to make connections to their argument of how fast food has caused a rise in obesity. They also made a great use of visuals in their presentation. By showing pictures of the obese eating fast food, we could really picture the severity of the problem at hand. I also appreciated how their slides contained only short concise points that were supplemented by the group. They did a good job of showing the opposing view, blaming the rise in obesity on parents, but this left me unsure if I was persuaded by their main argument. I was confused too when they stated at the end that they like fast food and have no problem with it. What was the purpose of your presentation of you didn't even have an issue with the problem.
