Your assignment is to create a PowerPoint Presentation for a section in your book. The section you are covering is Chapter 17: Section 2. Follow the directions below carefully.
You may pick any slide background that you want, but just remember that you need to be able to easily
read the words on your slide! For example, don’t pick a green background and yellow font. That would be ridiculously hard to read. Your goal is to 1) include all the information for the section and 2) make
each slide look good.
