  2. The presentation was very detailed in describing the means by which violence increased under Capone's reign. However, more of a focus on the various paramount topics in relation to the expansion of his crime empire would have been helpful in order to better understand his life.

  3. The chronological approach you guys had was a great way to flesh out Al Capone's life, but a more clear approach as to why he is iconic might help your statement instead of the viewer having to put it together.

  4. The things you said about his philanthropy were very interesting, and how you incorporated that on top of talking about his crime. The way your presentation was formatted could've been better, with more important topics highlighted.

  5. you did a great job of giving us a background of his life in a short 10 minutes but I will say the coordination between the presenters and the person changing the slides was absolutely horrible and that is unacceptable @JoshSalyers good job guys

  6. I liked how you included facts about his personal image in the public but i thought the information jumped around a bit.

  7. I liked how you presented the rise of Al Capone from his early life, to his mob years. I would add more influential events in his life, that made him so notorious.

  8. Overall pretty good presentation, I liked the pictures used but would've put them in a more eye-appealing way on the slides and some of the pictures of people were not labeled, so I was unsure of who was who.

  9. You guys did a great job telling us about how he got to be where he was. If you have more than one picture and they are of specific people or places add a caption if you can't quickly tell from the text what's what.

  10. Your information was well organized when telling about his life and the pictures were very helpful. It was interesting to learn about his concern of his public image as wanting to be seen in a positive life and starting soup kitchens. I would have liked to seen more pictures of the other people mentioned for a better understanding of his associations.

  11. You guys gave great content and I felt like the information was solid. My only critique is that the delivery at time was a little choppy and skipped around at times.

  12. Your presentation was intriguing and I think that you did well making the slides pleasing to look at and being able to expand upon them.

    I think that topic sentences or something to preface your next slide would have been helpful.

  13. Good PowerPoint visuals. Good use of outside info and not just reading from the slides. Good background/cultural context. Good "how it affects us today" section. good organization.
    Josh : good voice volume, tone, and eye contact. good, rich info given.
    John : "uh" "um"; nice volume and eye contact.
    criticism : emphasize topic sentences.

  14. I didn't know much before, so I'm happy to learn new information. However, the presentation was a bit broken.

  15. Learned a lot of new information. Had very good detail.

    For me, the PowerPoint slides were confusing.
