This video was okay, it didn't give much information, but it pulled me in. I think that keeping it simple with a narration, pictures, and music, made the video nice to watch. The last thing he said was the most interesting to me. The idea of an ocean fire. There has to be a lot of oil in the water for one because the water would just swallow it up. There would have to be a slick all over the area of one for it to actually happen...I think. That's a pretty scary idea. This taught me a bit more about the topic and made me a bit more interested in it than I already am.

+I did not think this video was very good because it gave no information that I didn't already know. All it did was list a few problems that oil spills cause. I give it a C-.

This video made no sense to me. The amount of information given was poor, and it was very hard to understand. Like Adam said, it just listed obvious problems that oil spills cause. Everything that the video said was something that everybody already knows. It was a bad video.

Even though this video was sad, I think it gave barley any info. Like everyone says, it didn't give me any juicy information about oil spills that I already know. It would just repeat obvious problems of oil spills. It didn't say any interesting facts about how it affects people and animal's lives or what sort of tools they use to clean up oil spills. It literally just stated this, oil is flammable, oil is lighter than water so it floats, oil is petroleum. For that, I would say that this video was not interesting at all, and didn't have close to enough info. Overall, eh but no interesting.

I don't really think that this was a good video. It was sort of boring, but I think that it covered everything we have been learning, such as the fact that oil is lighter than water. The video also talked about diesel and other types of oil, so I think that I am a bit more educated on the topic than I was a few minutes ago. Not much, but a little bit.
The part explaining about water fires was extremely short, but I was waiting for the video to mention them, so I guess that on that note, I was happy enough. But, the video really didn't go into anything else important or even very relevant to our topic, mostly talking about how bad oil spills are for the environment and showing dramatic pictures of oil spilling and people in weird yellow suits.
Overall, this video gets a B-, mostly because it had enough information but was the information wasn't presented in a good way and the video was really boring compared to other oil spill videos we have watched in class. :-|

I think that this video was very interesting.
It was interesting when he mentioned the fire in the water. I think that if you were to burn the oil on the water, it could be worse for the environment.
