    margaret:I liked how you added a quote for Disney. It gives a more personal look in to the name.
    Walta Evans:I liked how you categorized the people,but Walt Disney's info has no citation for it. We thought about Walt Disney, but chose others instead. I didn't know the inventor of the cell phone.
    Reneé:We need to add pictures for each person. Graphics allow connections to take place. Brain research shows that students learn better when connections are made.
