I think this presentation was effective because of its use of sound pictures and quates. The pictures showed the families it was about while the people who were in the pictures where telling there story. This was effective to me because it made me feel sympathetic annd understanding to there situation. Theonly problem I had with the presentation was that I would have liked to have heard the opposing peoples point of veiw on the whole thing to give me an more open minded view of the situation.

The things that made this presentation effective was that they had sounds from what happened that day and pictures that fitted the sound perfectly. They also had text at the bottom to explain what you didn't understand from the other media. I was disapointed at the end becaue it said that they started searching for the killer but never said if they found them or not. The emotions i felt while watching this slideshow was sadness because someone died but I also felt angry because of all the fighting going on in this world.
