You will learn how to use Google Documents (Presentation) to create a presentation about YOU! You will develop a presentation of moderate complexity for presentation in class during Week 4 (September 15 and 17).
Meets standard ATQS (3)(c) 1.(iii); (3)(c) 4.(i); (3)(c) 4.(ii)
The subject of your presentation will be YOU. Who are you? What are your interests? What do you do? Who are members of your family? What are your likes? Dislikes? adventures? aspirations? pets? favorite movies, songs or places? education? reasons for becoming a teacher? etc. The presentation must contain at least 12 slides about you and 1 title slide and 1 conclusion/wrap-up slide. It must also include at least eleven or more photographs or graphics (not exceeding two graphics). Since it is a presentation, emphasis will be on limiting the use of aspects of presentation software that are more suited to stand alone presentations or multimedia “events”. You will be required to make a FORMAL presentation. Your audience will evaluate you using instruments that will be provided to you in advance. This presentation is due in Week 4 (September 15 and 17)
