  1. You both did a great job at speaking clearly. I thought your thesis and three main points were clear and that your slide show was well put together. I like how you ended the presentation with a picture of what the monument will look like when it is finished. All of your specific dates you gave with the different wars and events were beneficial!

  2. I had honestly never really heard of crazy horse, so I was very intrigued, by one the topic and the information you chose to share. It was a very good and informative presentation!

  3. The three main points of your presentation and thesis was clear. I really liked that I could tell the three different topics you were talking about. You have a great deal of information that gave the audience a clear understanding of what/who crazy horse was. The fact that stuck in my head is that not very many people know where his body is. I definitely would have liked to see more pictures but I think the information was a great necessity.

  4. I found it interesting that he did not resist arrest. I would certainly think he would do everything he could not to be arrested due to his fiery nature. I liked how you showed what the monument looks like now and what it should look like later on. It's pretty cool that they are making a monument for him.

  5. The presentation was extremely detailed which I believe worked to your advantage because very few people understand the complex life of Crazy Horse. Taking someone from a different culture that happens to be intertwined with this nation was a very clever choice in my opinion. The presentation was also extremely organized which, once again, I believe was necessary for such a complex individual. Also, it was nice seeing an actual Native American noted when discussing American Icons. Although I'll admit I'm more partial to Ninham and Tecumseh, but that's just me.

  6. I did not know a lot about crazy horse outside of the battles he fought in so it was interesting to learn more about his life. I had no idea that Native American's names changed over their life time. I enjoyed your picture of the monument I had no idea what it looked like.

  8. I liked the story of how he had taken a sick family member somewhere without permission, then the soldiers arrested him and ended up killing him. that part really showed how people treated Indians with cruelty, and that Crazy Horse was a hero. I also liked how much information you had on him.

  11. You guys did a lot of detailed accounts of historic events. While there was a lot of information, you guys did a good job of making it understandable to us.

    I had no idea he led so many revolts against the U.S.A, very cool to get the other side of the story you do not get in history class.

  12. I honestly never even heard of crazy horse so I thought it was interesting to learn about. There was a lot of information in the presentation that I got kind of lost but over all you two did a good job!

  13. I think it is awesome how you explained that the place where he was buried is known by very few. This seems like something he would have wanted instead of buried in a plot that was taken over by his "enemy". I learned alot. Great job!

  14. Great presentation, with such spot on facts. Crazy Horse is a very iconic figure but I didn't know the memorial had any intention of getting done.

  15. The topic you chose was very different and unique. Crazy Horse was the only one today that I had to actually think about and remember who it was. I also that the presentation was outlined well. The ending was amazing and thought-provoking.

  16. It was pretty cool to hear about all that Crazy Horse did, and who he was as a person. I liked how you said that, "He was an ultimate leader." That for one can make a person extremely influential!
    The presentations was pretty good. It had a bunch of information and facts. I feel that if you might of not put as many facts on your slides it would of made it better. Great job though!

  17. Who knew crazy dreams was a way of telling your future. Well I liked the presentation based on how you made him look like the hero he is. If I read it from a book I'd just think of him as another Indian from some tribe. Good job on your presentation.

  18. Before today I knew absolutely nothing about Crazy Horse. I think its just insane that he was able to kill a buffalo at age 12. Lets hope we get to see that monument sometime in the next 100 years.

  19. This is the first time I have ever even heard of Crazy Horse. you guys had a lot of good information and definitely helped me understand how he helped early America out. You guys worked really well together and the picture of the finished product looked really cool.
