= Try = = Me! = ASSIGNMENT:

Your presentation project must include: 1. At least 20 slides 2. CREATIVE graphics 3. MINIMAL text 4. Appropriate recorded sound file 5. At least ONE hyperlink (to the Internet or another file)

Your presentation MUST be of the highest level of CREATIVITY!

Your presentation will be graded on: 5 Cs (creativity, completeness, correctness, carefully done, color)

Steps to creating an effective presentation: 1. Storyboard your plan 2. Populate the slides (put in pictures, text, etc.) 3. Record and embed the sound 4. Embed the presentation in your wiki. I would highly recommend that you wrap it into a lesson plan--remember, you have to have 10 lessons for this class and this is an easy tool to use with a lesson plan. But if you don't, put a link to your embedded presentation SOMEWHERE obvious (and annotate the link).

But before you begin your presentation, you will want to plan what you are going to do in your presentation. The best way to do this is to create a storyboard. As you plan your presentation on your storyboard, think about the pictures you will use to accompanying the script you will write for the presentation.

 A few things to keep in mind:

 1. The storyboard is not intended to be a "technical" project (in other words, I am NOT collecting this for assessment). You should focus on the content and the progression from slide to slide.

 2. You should be gathering pictures that appropriately match your script--write your script FIRST, then get pictures. If you start collecting pictures first, you will waste a lot of time.

 3. Stay out of the "boring box". Do something different, do something real, excite the kiddos with knowledge that matters!

4. You have TWO  weeks to complete this assignment. The reason for the extended time is because I expect an exemplary project--one that looks like you spend TWO weeks of thought, time and talent.
