1. About this assignment:
For this assignment we were asked to create a power point presentation about a certain section of our class readings. The purpose of the assignment was to refresh our memories on important grammar and punctuation rules. This assignment also taught me how to keep a presentation interesting for the viewer and how to create a power point that was simple and to the point.
