Presentation overall reviews
For many, visual aids and relatable topics really helped in the understandings of their research. Taking common ground is always a positive route to go when explaining new material to others. But, on another note, many failed to make eye contact, like myself, and somewhat rushed through. Failure to use the 6X6 rule, as I failed to do as well, was also a negative factor, squeezing too much paragraph style information on each slide. Overall, each island had its own unique characteristics and problems to be addressed, which advantaged each of us in different ways.

*Influenced more by Caribbean culture rather than European culture
*Celebrate carnival and have a lot of other festivals that celebrate creole style traditions, music, and art
*Why do they not relate to their European descendants?
*Clear speaking and development
