First slide show:
An Ambush and a Comrade Lost
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/04/19/world/20090420-aliabad-ambush/index.html
1. What was effective about the presentation
The slide shows had images from during the ambush, and it helped me imagine what was happening. The graphics were clear because it contained the soldiers being so depressed to find one of their friends gone. The presentation had audio explaining more about the graphics. The audio also gave an idea about what it was like to lose a friend so suddenly.
2. What multimedia was used?
It had graphics of during the ambush, it also had text under the slide show describing what the graphics contain. It had audio of the soldiers telling what happened in the graphics. There are multiple people who speaks in the audio part of the presentation.
3. What did you want to know more about?
I wanted to know more about what exactly happened to the lost comrade, and how they were ambushed. I also want to know what it feels like to live in fear all the time, and what it feels like when you loose a close friend.
4. What emotions did the images evoke.
It made the feeling that 'war is worthless' more real to me than an ordinary journal, or movie. It was pretty sad to hear about a person who died for practically no reason at all. I did n't take war very seriously before now.
Second slide show:
Pauses for Effect

1. What was effective about the presentation
It had interesting graphics, but oddly it I cannot get a good idea what the presentation's purpose is. There are interesting graphics, but I keep wondering what it is trying to tell us. Since I can't see what this presentation is for I don't think this is a good presentation.
2. What multimedia was used?
The slide show had graphics but nothing else as far as I can see.
3. What did you want to know more about?
Like I said, I want to know the purpose of the slide show, and how they got the picture of the street with the woman right in the middle.
4. What emotions did the images evoke.
The images made me feel curious. And weird creepy feelings find me because all the pictures have the same woman with the same pose with the same clothes in every single picture. It gave me wondering thoughts about whether these pictures are photoshoped pictures or not.

It was pretty real with pictures a dead body and injured people in the hospital. And not only the burning cars there were pictures of people trying to clean up all the mess that the bombing made in the streets.
2. What multimedia was used?
Their are graphics containing the aftermath of the bombing and people saving other people from dieing
3. What did you want to know more about?
How did the bombing happen anyway? Why would people want to bomb the place. And how many people died because of the bombing. This incident happen in Kabul, and I wondered where is Kabul on the world map? Because army people were all over the scene.
4. What emotions did the images evoke.
It had me scared for a moment because of image 3 where you can actually see the dead and burnt body of a person. It also had me sad because the images also has people being depressed about the accident.

Maybe in Humanities class when the teacher wants to show us images of ancient pyramids

Graphics of the scene (from far away and close up) and the people cleaning the place

Way would someone chose to bomb himself when killing himself. Exactly how much damage was done. And how many people got perished. Could all this just be an accident?

Anger at the person who bombed the scene. And pity for the people who got injured and who lost their homes and who has to clean up the mess. It also amazes me to get to see all the cars, bricks and even the ground smudged with black.

Perhaps in science class to show microscopic organisms
