Directions for “I Love the Look of Words Powerpoint”
____1. In your group, number the lists in the order of the word lists you like most to
least (#1 is your favorite, #13 is your least favorite).
____2. Groups will be drawn to determine the order in which they pick their word list(s).
Once your list has been confirmed with Ms. Rotker, write the number and due date at
the top of the page.
____3. Look up the words in the American Heritage High School Dictionary. If there is
a number next to your word, you must have more than one definition. Write, then type
in Microsoft Word, the definition (word for word) out of the dictionary. Include part of
speech (noun, verb, etc.). Your definition list must be typed and it must look like the
sample on the next page.
____4. As you are looking up the words, if you think it requires more than one definition
to fully explain the word, include all definitions. Make sure you put the number* of
definitions used next to each word.
*Note-It is not necessary to put a (1) next to words with only one definition.
____5. E-mail the definition paper to Ms. Rotker at amy.rotker@sccpss.com. It is due
no later than the Friday before your Powerpoint presentation.
____6. Make a Powerpoint using pictures and sounds to describe each vocabulary
word. The first slide should have SAT #___ and the name of the words as well as the
names and block for everyone in your group. The second slide is just a picture. Use clip
art or photos to make it interesting. The text (with word, part of speech, definition and
the same picture) comes in on the next slide. You can copy this from the word
document you already created. See my website for sample vocabulary Powerpoints.
____7. Make sure your slides are easy to read. It is important that everyone can see
the words, parts of speech and the definitions as well as the pictures. The font size of
the words should be at least 22-28. E-mail the Powerpoint to Mrs. Rotker the Friday
before your Powerpoint is to be presented.
____8. Be prepared to talk about each slide and to explain the picture/definition without
saying the word. You may want to take notes for yourself to help you tell a story about
each picture. Typically, presentation days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. You will be
presenting your Powerpoint twice in one week.
____9. The week your group presents, you will not be required to take the vocabulary
test. Your test grade will be this project. Do your best!
____10. As you work on this project, check in with Mrs.Rotker. You can e-mail me your
presentation as you progress, so I can make sure you are on the right track. I do need
to see your final copy before it is presented to the class. Please check with me to
review your work and to answer any questions.
