Aim: How do we create a Powerpoint for our project?

Do Now: Using your outline project outline create a powerpoint for your project.

Your Team should follow these steps to create a successful presentation:

Step #1. Once you have organized the information into an Outline using the format found in Mr. Cassidy’s Travel Brochure outline.. The Outline will become part of the Team’s handout to the class.

Step #3. Convert the Outline into a Slide Organizer. This is a simple way of writing the words that will actually appear on each slide.


Step #4. Create Storyboards from the Slide Organizer. The Storyboards act as a visual reference for the placement of your graphics and photos.

Step #5. Download the graphics, maps, and photos that you plan to use in your PowerPoint presentation into a folder. Call the folder something like “My PowerPoint Pics” and place it My Documents, so you’ll remember where you put the folder when it comes time to find the photos and insert them into the PowerPoint slide.


Step # 6. At this point, the members of the Team will choose a Jobs from the list. The Ambassador of Destination will be responsible for incorporating each member’s portion of the slide presentation into a single PowerPoint file. Once completed, the Ambassador will deposit their Team’s PowerPoint file into the Project Folder located on the on the school’s computers. You can drag the file into the folder or copy and paste it. Each member of the Team should know how to do this in the event that the Team Leader becomes ill, goes on an extended vacation to the island of Corsica or gets lost somewhere in the most remote jungles of Brazil.

Step #7. Once you have completed steps #1-6 the Team will then open up the PowerPoint New Presentation Wizard to select the design elements that the entire Team will use for their presentation. Each person will then work on their portion of the presentation individually, but discussing key design decisions as a Team.

Step #8. Each Team will also turn in a copy of all Slide Organizers (one copy per Team) and Storyboards (one copy per student) .
