Steps: 1. Visit the different websites and answer the guiding questions that have been created for you. 2. On paper, design or create a plan for your slideshow. Information from your research and pictures should be organized. Students should plan on 5-8 slides. 3. Turn your rough draft into a final copy on Google Slides. Design an appropriate background and use a font that is easily legible (readable). Create an introduction slide with your name(s) and topic on it. Present your information in an organized way. Use as much of the space on the slide as possible. Make your slides more interesting by adding pictures of topics discussed on that slide. You may also add video clips if they are appropriate and no longer than 3 minutes. All other writing should be in complete sentences even if you are making a list or using bullets. Proper spelling and capitalization is expected.
