This assignment fit into the overall unit as we had to research on your own and with that research create a presentation explaining why that person is the person of the year. After doing this assignment I learned how to research and expand on my presentation skills since I had to present it to the rest of the class. This assignment was kinda challenging as I had to summarize a person life into short sentences, while also having to figure out what are important events in the person's life. I could improve this assignment by summarizing the presentation more and only using the most important events in the person's life.
