In class today, February 28^th we started group presentations for the Unit 1 projects. My project performed and I think we did a great job. We successfully met all the guidelines and collaborated with one another during our presentation. We built upon one another and each touches on our Prezi slides and website. This project was very interesting and I loved that we were all able to pick our own topics. Everyone in my group are all passionate about Transgender Rights and Caitlyn Jenner’s transformation.

On Tuesday, there were many presentations, however my favorite presentation was on minimum wage. They did a great job explaining minimum wage and talked a lot about 15 dollars an hour as a prominent subject. They spoke about Washington, DC and how the minimum wage is 15 dollars an hour as well. Fifteen states have increased their minimum wage this year. Even Arizona. The minimum wage in Arizona has increased from 8.25 an hour to 10 dollars an hour.

On Thursday, my favorite presentation was on Tech Impact on the Police Force. The timeline started in 1990 and finished in 2016. Each slide was about a different person and their impact. They talked about Mark Fuhrman who was known for being apart of the O.J. Simpson trial. The trial was of course well known and was watched by over 100 million people. Fuhrman was a detective for the L.A. police department and was accused of being a very racist police officer.
