Here is the link as background to the article written by Roach. Having viewed the Prezi presentation on it, compare how the information in the prezi is similar to the information that Roach presents in her article. What salient differences do you find between the two sources? Cite textual evidence from both and remember to use proper references to the pieces by naming each as you present the info.
Which piece did you prefer more? the Prezi or the actual article? Why?
Post your response in an extended paragraph of 10-12 sentences. WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE BLOG POSTING BEFORE YOU HIT "ANONYMOUS" TO SEND IT.
Having posted, you are required to READ and COMMENT on ONE other student's original blog posting. In commenting on the student's blog, you may discuss some of the points of the student's post that you agree with or that you like because you have not thought about the information in this way. But, you must also find ONE idea that you would like to disagree with or that you needed the person to shed more light on. In other words, you must diagnose and offer suggestion for improvment.
