Asian Power Point Presentations

Mrs. Partington

 

For the next two weeks we will be in the computer lab working on a Power Point Presentation for our selected Asian country.  You will be doing multi-tasking - working in Power Point, on the Internet, and printed material at the same time.  Before you can do a program, you must have a story board - you must set up an outline of what you want to include on each slide. 

 

Following is a list of required elements that must be included in the show.  I’ve given you a culturgram and handout for your country, so you can work on the story board at home.  Time is limited in class, so you must come in prepared with a plan.  For the first two days we will be showing the Power Point software and what you can do with it.  By Wednesday you will be ready to begin, so you must have your story board ready by Wednesday.  I’ve attached blanks- pictures/layout on the slide, text on the lines.

Decide what types of pictures you want to look for.  This may change as you go, but have a plan

You must have ________ slides beyond the Title and acknowledgments pages.

 

¨     The first consideration of the presentation is the Content - Information about your country. 

¨     Your presentation must center on the content.  So, any pictures, animation, click art, sound, etc. must enhance the content of the presentation to make it better.
