In the box provided and based on your answers from above, list the best PPT
and explain why? Be thorough in your explanation as to why. One or two
sentences DOES NOT support your reasoning. Write a paragraph explaining.
Paragraphs usually are at a minimum of seven (7) sentences in length.
Powerpoint 3 was the best in my opinion because a lot of the information
was new to me. I already know a lot about Beyonce, but I learned so much
more about her from powerpoint 3. The pictures had the best quality (they
werent fuzzy), and they were more recent. I love that they used more recent
photos because I love Beyonces change in music genre and her personal
style. Powerpoint 3 is the only powerpoint that used video clips which I love
(I watched them). I also love the background on the powerpoint slides.
Overall, powerpoint 3 was the neatest out of all of the powerpoints.
