PLAGERISM
1. DO NOT cut and paste ANY information
2. Taking someone else’s work and saying
that it is your own is plagiarism.
3. Plagiarism is against school rules
4. Write EVERYTHING in your own words.
3 RULES OF POWER POINT
1. Each slide should only have 3 ideas
on it.
2. Each slide should not have more than
6 sentences on it.
3. Font and colors should be used to
make the slide easier to read, not
make it confusing.
START YOUR OWN POWER POINT

point slide show
• Follow the directions on each of my
slides to make your own
presentation.
• Keep both presentations open at the
same time to go back and forth.
The first slide is your title page. You are making
a presentation on plate tectonics. You need to
make a title for your presentation.
