.Video starter usually works well but this time a little confusing.
.Actually not needed because memory starter was a great idea and really engages the class.
.There is a little lack of planning instructions aren't very clear but its a good talk.
.Some of the class more engaged than others, timing is done well.
.Good to see a handout and like the teaching of historical details.
.Sheer size of news corp is communicated well.
.Brief mention of phone hacking scandal but liked to have seen more of it.

WWW: We gave an enthusiastic presentation and we believe the class enjoyed listening and watching it.
WWW: It was engaging and the starter made people think and hopefully take stuff in.
EBI: More info was needed on the controversial events-phone hacking scandal
EBI:  Could have explained the video at the beginning better
