with other students’ pages to create a class
book.
You need to use a computer program to
create your page (Word, Publisher).

Same information as on the reference page.
Each category should be its own slide. You may use more
than one slide for categories that have more information
in them if you would like to.
 You must write a shortened version of the information.
You should not have complete sentences.
 You should have at least one picture in your presentation,
but having more is recommended.
 You must practice your presentation before presenting it
to the class. Make sure that you practice using a clear
voice that everyone in our classroom can hear. You may
use note cards to write specific information that you
would like to share with us during your presentation.
