MAKE A POWER POINT

• You and a partner will go through my slides on this power point

• Each slide will give you directions on how to make your own power point

• Follow the links provided to research the information for each slide

• Have fun, be creative, and make your presentation unique.

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.

• Open up a brand new empty power 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.

START YOUR OWN POWER POINT
