 MAKE MENTAL NOTE OF THIS!

 The purpose of using PowerPoint is to provide a SUPPORT to what you are saying, not to SAY IT while you repeat it. A PowerPoint is effective if it uses very little text, powerful graphics, and acts as a backup to the presenter.

Your homework:
ASSIGNMENT:

Your presentation project must include: 1. At least 20 slides 2. CREATIVE graphics 3. MINIMAL text 4. Appropriate recorded sound file 5. At least ONE hyperlink (to the Internet or another file)

Your presentation MUST be of the highest level of CREATIVITY!

Your presentation will be graded on: 5 Cs (creativity, completeness, correctness, carefully done, color)

--You should be gathering pictures that appropriately match your script--write your script FIRST, then get pictures. If you start collecting pictures first, you will waste a lot of time.

 --Stay out of the "boring box". Do something different, do something real, excite the kiddos with knowledge that matters!

--You have TWO  weeks to complete this assignment. The reason for the extended time is because I expect an exemplary project--one that looks like you spend TWO weeks of thought, time and talent.

Put your presentation in a lesson plan. If you used a Web2.0 tool, embed it in your resources section. If you do a PowerPoint, upload the file into Slideshare.net and embed it in your lesson plan.

REMEMBER: you have TWO weeks to complete this assignment (because I expect an exemplary product). Please do not misunderstand--I am not giving you a "free" week. The product will be graded on the fact that you received twice as much time to do the project.

Some significant things to know: --There will be an assignment next week. That assignment will be due in one week and at the SAME time as your presentation assignment. --If you have an incomplete (or missing) assignment, you have until OCTOBER 26th to complete it--after that point, I will not accept it.
