Presentations Day Two
Things I Learned:
Puerto Rico- Have always been ruled by another country. Many cultures and races have impacted the identity crisis in Puerto Rico.
Jamaica- There is gender inequality, poverty, and unsafe sex practices.
Martinique- There are many diseases in this island.
St. Maarten- The split in the island makes it a hub for cultural diversity.
ABC islands- Each island has its own fun thing to do for the tourists. Aruba is known as the adventure island.
The Bahamas- Columbus enslaved many natives and took their gold.
Comments on power points:
Puerto Rico- Slides contained too much text.
Jamaica- A lot of the slides were unclear. She did not make the slides clear with her statements.
St. Maarten- Facts seemed iffy. A lot of the bullet points were guesses.

Presentation Day One
Cuba- Tourism is not a big money maker in Cuba. The island is big so the economy is different. The United States has an embargo on Cuba.
Saba- This one is mine. Groceries are brought only on Wednesdays!!
Trinidad- The economy has changed greatly over the years. It went from plantations, to petroleum, to tourism.
Haiti- Disaster reliefs are corrupt. The people donating the money decides where the money goes.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines- When tourists come the island does not use their own crops. They import products from other countries.
Guadeloupe- Arawaks were weird. Christopher Columbus brought pineapples back to Spain.
