    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.

    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.

    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.
  • llabell on 14 Nov 14

    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.
  • mholbert on 13 Nov 14
     
    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.
  • samin1 on 13 Nov 14
     
    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!!
  • jlandis3 on 13 Nov 14
     
    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.
  • kharlacher on 14 Nov 14
     
    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.
  • rdeveney on 14 Nov 14
     
    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!
  • dvannostrand on 14 Nov 14
     
    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.

    This is an interesting website! I never knew about croquet before, but now I feel well informed. I like the use of images as well.
  • llabell on 14 Nov 14
     
    I thought it was really interesting that croquet originated as popular culture, whereas soccer originated as folk culture. Today, in our society, soccer is considered more popular culture, whereas croquet is thought of being more of folk culture. I like how you included that soccer was banned and then legalized again because I remember reading about that in class.

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

  • mholbert on 13 Nov 14

Guaranteed to make you laugh at their stupidity, LiAnn and Kara demonstrate their awful and slightly-less-awful cooking skills through the completion of this beautiful meal. Featuring: Some weird Lithuanian pork stuff that was actually pretty good; Greasy Chips a.k.a. Tanzanian French Fries; Chai tea with way too much cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; and, an Orange and Mango drink in the fancy "I'm a Grownup, I Swear!" wine glasses.

    That wonderful video was definitely wonderful and you've inspired me to make empanadas now in my own home now. And by empanadas I mean samosas.

    I loved how the website was very easy to navigate, plus the food looks really good, i might have to make it myself.

    I really enjoyed watching your video! I like how it was entertaining but also informative. I also enjoyed learning about how Empanadas diffused to several spanish areas. It is great that you have the recipe so that others can make empanadas on their own. Over all, great job! Your website was interesting as well as informative.

    Awesome job with the video, very informative and entertaining. Overall good content and interesting view on the food taboos. Great quote at 1:34 "Like my mom always told me, if you cut your finger off, it's gonna bleed"

    I enjoyed watching your video which was well done and looked delicious! I also found the liver and onion dish as a taboo to be interesting because of how it is accepted in some regions and not others. It seems it is more widely accepted in areas that are influenced by folk culture rather than popular culture, which is funny because many things are eaten in a popular cultural society that are worse for you and contain more chemicals than the natural liver of a cow.

    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.
  • mwaardenburg on 14 Nov 14
     
    I liked how you showed the history of the food you displayed, such as the Austrailian biscuits and how they originated in World War 1. It was well organized and your ideas were well thought out. Good job!

    I liked that you wrote on the whiteboard it was very creative. It was interesting to see that the German dish has not diffused further that it did.

Diffusion of Baseball--- Daniel Kessler - 11 views

Nice simple look to the website. Baseball's origins from the 1840's are a good example of folk culture.

    Do you want to learn more about the way that soccer and field hockey became such popular sports? If so, visit this site to learn where they originated from and where they are popular today. You can even play an online game to test your skills at soccer and field hockey!

    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!
  • lexihoffman on 12 Nov 14
     
    I really like what you guys had to say about both sports. You had a lot of information and facts about field hockey and soccer. I didn't know much about the origins before reading this, but now I know how the sports started as folk culture and turned into popular culture. Nice touch with the games at the end!
  • cpeytonj on 13 Nov 14
     
    Wow! There was a lot to learn about both of these sports that I never knew before! Great information and good organization for sharing it. Good work!

    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!

    I love this website!!! Your videos were so funny but also showed great dishes. I loved how you had your website organized to the three regions of where your foods came from. The information was very informative. It really related to the things we have been talking about in class like how people create their dishes with the resources they have around them. There were great examples of folk dishes. Great job guys!!

    Great job incorporating the "guest cook"! Nice selection of music too.
