show about you! I am providing an instruction sheet as a guide for what information to
include on each slide of the presentation. Make sure that you read all of the instructions
carefully. When you have completed your presentation, you will print a copy to be turned
in and then we will be presenting the slide show presentations to the class on the Smart
Board.
B. Lesson Procedure: (At the computer):
