HOLT Biology A Technology
Pacing Guide
Directions:
For the technology portion of the class, you will be creating a
power point presentation.
Each week, you will send the current week’s slide(s) to your
supervisory teacher. At the end of the class, you will present the
entire project.
After you read and follow the directions on each slide, delete the
directions, so that your work can be easily viewed by the
teacher.
In addition, to the 6 slides described below, you will need to
create a title and work cited slide.
*Feel free to add animations, change font, or other details to
make you power point your very own. Be sure that your slides
are easy to read and you are able to describe what you learned.
