  1. I thought it was a very good presentation. It's cool to see where J.K. Rowling was before she wrote the Harry Potter series, and it's cool to see how well-known she became. Though, if there was something I'm concerned about, there was a bit too much emphasis on her and Harry Potter. Otherwise, nice presentation.

  2. how the information and how it was handled i found was great and amusing. my biggest critisysms are that you had a bit of a slow start (though i must admit nerves suck)and i wish i had been given some more examples to help me understand it more.

  3. I think this was a great presentation. I knew nothing about J.K. Rowling until now. I think the best part was how well you supported your thesis. Some constructive criticism would be to strengthen your negative influence a little more.

  4. I think that it is inspiring to hear that she was kind of a rags to riches type story. One thing I think could have been improved was the breakdown of the comparison. Maybe I was just lost. It just felt a little lack luster. The information just blended strangely.

  5. Very nice presentation. it was interesting that she used a different name especially a mans name but i guess if you want your books to be well known and she had to do it to make it successful, then she did what she had to do and i don't personally think thats a negative impact because i know i would do anything to reach my goals even if that was to change the name. Would of been nice to hear about other books she successful on other than Harry Potter.

  6. this was a great presentation, the only thing I knew about her was that she wrote the harry potter books but you guys made me learn so much more especially that she uses a different name for her newer books. something to improve on is show more negative influences

  7. You guys did a well job presenting. Your handout had a lot of useful and interesting facts. One thing that I think could've improved would be more evidence to back up your argument on her negative influence.

  8. I thought it was crazy that she was almost "forced" to use her initials to publish her writing! It's also bizarre that she decided to use a male name when publishing other books. I'd consider this to be the highlight of your presentation just because it shows that we are still going through gender equality issues that need to be addressed.

    And I'd have to agree with Lali as far as showing/discussing negative influences. You briefly touched on how religious groups thought the wizardry was a bad influence, but I was curious to know a bit more. I'm sure if we had a longer time limit, you would have been able to.

  9. You guys did an amazing job truly knowing your topic. I learned a lot about JK Rowling I had no idea about. I didn't know that she had a rough childhood. I enjoyed the handout a lot it was well. I like the good pictures. I feel like you had no bad down fall. I think throwing a clip in from Harry Potter would have been pretty cool. I think the change in the person talking could have been smoother.
