I knew almost nothing about all of these topics but I learned a lot from the insightful information and the cool videos! Thanks for sharing!

This was a great website with lots of useful information about folk and popular music. I learned a lot from this awesome site about the wide variety of folk culture music from the cool videos and descriptions.

I've always "liked rock" but never really knew that much about it. The British Invasion reminds me of the theme of diffusion.

I liked learning about all of your different musical preferences and how they have all evolved over the years! Its all very fascinating! (and PS Noah, you said Skillet instead of Skrillex at the top of your page.)

I have to say that your site was the most appealing to the eye. It stood out and was very creative. There was a lot of insightful information about the different shows. I liked the pictures you had too!

Wow! You guys did a great job on this project! I liked how professional your website looked. I also really liked that you included videos of the game shows on each of the pages! Awesome work!

This site is great. Who knew there were so many versions of Family Feud or Top Model. There were plenty of pictures and other aesthetically pleasing images as well.

The design of the site created a professional look to it. I often forget that there are other versions of American things such as the ones you listed and it reflects the rapid diffusion of popular culture.

I really like all of the clips and examples of the different shows! Your site is organized very well, and I can tell that all three of you worked hard on it. Sadly though, I did already know about the various Top Model shows in other countries...

I liked how you guys put clips of each show in all the different countries. It is amazing how popular culture can diffuse into so many different variations of the same show.

I think it is very interesting to see the different types of TV shows from around the world. I particularly enjoyed The Next Top Model section.

I like how you showed the clips of each country's version of the show, and how the attitudes of the people on the show are different than the ones in our culture. I liked the way you showed the attitudes of the hosts on minor issues such as height or hair length.

This was a really informative website. I really liked the example of family food to get your point across.

I like how this website talks about all of the different version of Family Feud exist. The information on Family Feud is interesting. I never knew how many version existed outside of our country.

Your page was very interesting to visit because it was very informative and the pictures and video made it unique. Good job!

All the pictures made the site really cool! It was fun to look through and find out what sports are played around the world. Good job!

Your site was very informative and efficient. I thought it was super easy to navigate, so that's brownie points.

Your site is very organized. I never knew croquet started as popular culture and soccer started as folk culture. We learned about diffusion in class and it is cool to see a real-life example of it.

Good job making your site. The pictures you added look very nice and the site was very informational. I thought it was interesting that croquet started as a popular sport and was widespread throughout the world.

I really like the layout of the website! A lot of other groups did videos but this website is able to incorporate all elements of what would be in a video on to the website. I have one question; does croquet have any relationship with golf? When I was reading that section it looked a lot like golf so I was concerned. The website looks terrific overall!!

You guys did a great job on your website! The organization of the pictures and information was great! One connection that I noticed in your work that we learned in class activities, when we take notes from the book, was that the book mentioned that soccer was banned for a time and later unbanned, as well as it also being called football in other parts of the world.

Your website has a nice layout so it's easy to navigate. It's also fascinating that croquet started off as a popular sport and has moved to be more of a folk activity. On the other hand, soccer started as a folk activity and became a popular one.

I would have never guessed the croquet started as a part of popular culture. I loved how you incorporated the croquet game from Alice in the Wonderland. This connects to what we learned in class because we read about the diffusion of soccer in the book. I loved your website!

This was one of the easiest sites to navigate that I have checked out so far. The information is laid out in such an interesting and accessible way. Great Job.

I really enjoyed watching your video! You both did a great job explaining how to make the dishes! I also liked how you brought in the "judge" to make it look like a real cooking show! Great job guys!!

I like how you gave a lot of history on each of the dishes. You provided good background knowledge on the dishes for the viewers before they watch your video. Also, your idea to have a judge for the food was really cool! Good job on your video!

Great job, ladies! I really liked how organized your website was. You also gave a lot of information about your dishes, which was very good. They both looked so good! I think you guys are both winners!

The cook it at home recipe is pretty cool. Your information is very detailed and covers any questions I might have had.

I really enjoyed watching your video. The directions were very specific and the food looked really good! I especially liked the part where the judge, "Gordon Oliver", tried the dishes because it was different than a lot of the other food videos.

I really liked how your video was like a real cooking show! I liked the taste test at the end and the interviews at the beginning that showed the history of the dishes.

It's pretty cool how you guys made this seem like a real show. Good work!

Great job guys! Your video was really creative and entertaining while also being informational.

Very good idea to make it into a real cooking show! Great information and organization of the site. Good work!

Good job with your video, especially with the beginning intro scenes and the last scene! Sadhana, you should have won by default because of Lauren's brother being the judge! I wonder which one of your recipes was actually better?

Your website was very neat and easy to navigate. I like how you made it like a real show with the judge at the end. Both foods follow the characteristics of folk culture and that the origin is anonymous.

I liked how the website was well managed and and easy to navigate, plus those foods look REAAAAAAALLLY good!

I liked how the video was set up like a real cooking show. You guys also presented great information about the food's background, as I never heard of the Qatar dish.

I really liked the design of the website and that it was based on a real cooking show. I thought the dishes were interesting and displayed how the resources available to countries often affects their folk culture.

Great job! The beginning scenes were very informative, and I thought it was interesting how there are different theories on the origin of the tortilla española, which is a great characteristic of a folk culture.

I love the quote and pictures on your website! I also like how you found a song and video for each style of music. Your site looks really nice!

Really cool. Where did you get the ideas for some of these genres? Oh, and the modern pop video has been removed or something.

I didn't even know some of those genres existed. Very interesting to know the roots of the music. (*sigh* It's oo bad I didn't get to play any jazz improv for you).

I think your website is very informative especially with all of the pictures and videos. It looked really nice!

I love the diagram on the your home page. It's really neat! Your site is also well organized and very informative. Awesome job!

I really like the picture at the very bottom of the home screen (with the continents made out of music notes). And I really enjoyed listening to the numerous, numerous styles you chose. The throat singing was my favorite, obviously. You need to learn how to do that. Maybe you'll get extra credit!

Your site looks amazing! There is so much information and I like all the videos you guys added. Yodeling follows the folk culture characteristics and how folk music is about everyday life events.

You guys did such a great job! It was very organized and incorporated great images and color! One connection I noticed in your work that we learned in our class activities, when we take notes from the book, is that the image on the Home page that shows how different styles of music are related, was similar to the one found in the book and used similar music style names like funk and hard house.

I really enjoyed watching your video!! I thought it was very creative how you sped up the writing part so the video wasn't extremely long. I also liked the background music throughout the whole video! Great job guys!!

Awesome job guys! Those dishes look so good! I really liked how you guys planned ahead in your video and took the extra step of giving us the history of the dish before you made it. I enjoyed this project a lot!

I think your video, and website, were a really unique twist on a popularly picked project choice. I really liked the white board idea, the subtle music in the background, and the way you "fast-forwarded". It was really good altogether!

Your website looks so professional, I love it! You seemed like you guys really knew what you were doing before you started filming.

Your website is really well organized and well set up, I like that you put recipes on for the different foods. It is interesting to see all of the different foods enjoyed throughout the world.

The idea to have the writing sped up was great! It allows you to give so much more information about the food. Rote Grutze not diffusing very far is a great example of the limited spread of folk culture.

I think you guys did a really good job of showing how unique each country's style of dressing is. I really liked the game and your pictures!

I really liked how you added the game, the Pinterest page, and the pictures of you dressed up. It made the site fun to look through. Great job!!

Yours kept me interested the whole way through, especially looking at the pictures of you guys dressing up. You were very creative and nicely represented fashions from all over the world.

You guys did an excellent job with the appearance of the site and information that adhered the viewer. The representations you guys did goes back to the concept of folk clothing influencing popular clothing that we wear today.

I really like the idea of the games and Pinterest page! It added to the site and made it really interesting. I also thought it was creative how you dressed up.

Your site was really pretty and I liked it! The idea of the Pinterest page made your site so much better. I think you really did a good job making this project.

I liked your site a lot! As we described in class, I saw how the culture of a group affects the style of clothing. The Pinterest page and game were nice touches!

The pictures were very interesting and I learned a lot about how different cultures wear different types of clothes!

I like how you chose cultural dresses from very different parts of the world! It really shows how diverse the world's styles really are. I dare you to pick one and wear it to school!

I liked the entire page, it was easy to use, which is wonderful. Information involved was very informative, which is great for an informative site

Your website was really cool and had a great use of pictures and placement of information! One connection I noticed in your work that was learned in our class activities, when we took notes from the book, was from the picture of the Eskimos wearing boots, because the book talked about that people living in colder areas might wear boots.

This is a very creative website that shows all different types of clothing styles all around the world. I like your presentation with all the clothes, it looked like a lot of fun to make!

I really enjoyed viewing the folk clothes from different places in the world. It's amazing how different they all are from place to place.

I love the site! my favorite part was the Eskimos who have the right idea about how to bundle up in this weather. They also rock a nice fashion style. Makes me wish I could wear dead animals in school. Great job!

It is interesting to see what clothing around the world looks like when it is not influenced by popular fashion styles. The pictures on your website are neat and the website is east to navigate. Great job!

I liked how you showed the diversity of clothing in world today by picking outfits from different parts of the world. Your presentation of you wearing the clothes looked like fun! Your website was very good!!

Great simple and informative layout with nice looking use of pictures. I liked how you used clothing from around the world to show the many different styles and there histories, as well as their diffusion.

Your website was very well put together and informative and you guys can pull off those folk outfits really well! haha Great job!

I really enjoyed learning about the different regions you chose and the clothing they wear. I found similarities with the website I created because of the South American clothing, and how some clothing was influenced by immigrants. I also made a connection with what we learned in class being that a popular clothing item in developed regions is the UGG boot, which was inspired by folk clothing in arctic regions.

You guys did a good job explaining the two sports and their diffusion, and I like how you put games at the end. Good job!

Your cooking show was very interesting and I especially liked the two recipes you picked. I liked watching and learning about the two folk foods and how they are made. Why did you pick those two? Any specific reason?

The show was very nicely done and seemed very professional. The way that curry became popular in England is a great example of folk culture spreading through relocation diffusion.

Awesome site! I know what I'm doing this weekend. I liked how you explained the diffusion of each dish. I enjoyed the videos, and I'm really digging the t-swift. #squad

I love the name! The setup was extremely professional and easy to follow making me want to look at more. The dishes all looked great and I'm definitely loving the site of #squad.

The foods you guys cooked look really delicious! I know what Susan will be cooking me this week! I liked the incorporation of RJ, he did a very nice job not hurting himself or anyone else. You're videos were very well put together and informative! Great job guys!

So much variation of food preferences in Southern Europe. The video of the food preparation was great too, showing what is native the the regions. Well Done!
