Week 28: Powerpoint Workshop

This week's class is a PowerPoint Workshop to work on our persuasive presentations.

At the end of this class, each student should have:

  • 2 facts per slide:  Each argument presented by the student should have at least two facts represented.  They can gain these facts by doing an Internet Search or obtaining information from INFOhio (we researched all these facts in previous lessons, and students have organized this information into graphic organizers).
  • Design Finished:  students should explore all the different templates Microsoft created and apply these to their presentations.  They can edit these by changing colors or formats or use the default for the backdrop of their presentation
  • 4 pictures:  Each argument represented must have a picture they obtained from the Internet.  This allows them to practice right-clicking and saving this picture in their Classroom Folders, as well as inserting this into PowerPoint.
  • 1 Title Slide:  This slide should contain the title of their presentation, as well as the author of the project
  • 4 Argument Slides:  Each student should come up with at least 4 arguments to convince their audience to consider their topic.  Each slide should have the title of their argument at the top of their slide
