I think the best PowerPoint out of the three was PowerPoint #1. This PowerPoint provided
me with a lot of unknown information about Muhammad Ali. In the PowerPoint they provided
a lot of pictures that went along with the topic they were discussing. Also in the PowerPoint
they provided many of Muhammads quotes, that he was well known for. Another reason I
think this is the best PowerPoint is because, it was the only one with a works cited at the end of
the PowerPoint. The PowerPoint also used bullets instead of paragraphs covering the main
points so it was easier and quicker to read through.
