Directions: The Computer I class has discussed and successfully used several of the options in PowerPoint. We will now create a presentation that uses the options we have covered in class. Please complete the items below to design your project. The focus of your project is entirely up to you (choose something that you are really interested in and wish to learn more about). It must be informative (contain factual information, not opinion) and uphold all areas of the school discipline guidelines. Additionally, ensure that you will be able to gather enough information on your topic to fulfill the project requirements (listed below). For example, you may choose to build a project on important battles in World War 2, specific instruments used in the school band, the rules used in volleyball or information about a college you plan to attend. Please ask if you are unsure whether you have selected an acceptable topic. Note: This project shall be completed within ten to fifteen school days. If you are absent you must either work on your project in a study hall or arrange to complete an extra credit project. It is expected that you will attempt to do your best on this project, as it will constitute a large percentage of your 6-week grade. If you finish early, the usual guidelines apply. Please plan accordingly and use your time wisely.
