What You'll Create
In this activity, you will recreate a sample slide show. You will attempt to create a slide show as similar as possible using a number of provided files (images, sounds, text), clip art and other elements.
Why
The main purpose of this activity is to introduce you to many of main aspects of PowerPoint. It is also intended to have you use a variety of features and techniques you may not have encountered otherwise. It is hoped that you will apply a number of these techniques to your original slide show later in the module.
Features to include
- All the downloaded elements are to appear in your slide show
- Your slide show should resemble the original show as closely as possible in every detail
- Be sure to follow the Guide to help you specifically match fonts, styles, backgrounds and other elements
- Be sure to save your slide show in a folder with all the proper file names (see the orientation section for help)
- Your final folder of work for this Activity needs to contain your slide show as well as the sound clips used
