Week 10 2nd Semester, Beginning of 4^th Quarter
Chapter 13 – Advanced PowerPoint Features

In this chapter we will study some of the more advanced (and fun!) aspects of PowerPoint.  We will learn how to keep interest with animations, music and videos.  We will also learn how to annotate (make notes on screen), create a photo album and make on-screen hyperlinks to other documents or web sites.  Remember to always consider the interests of your audience, and the type of equipment that will be used to project your presentation.  What looks and sounds great on your desktop may look altogether different than on a television or large screen projector.  If at all possible, test your presentation ahead of time on the projection equipment you will be using.

MONDAY
Create a new folder in My Documents named Chapter 13. Read Chapter 13.
>> Next week we will be doing a special Presentation Project called ‘The Life Of {Your Name}’ (see below).  You will need digital photographs and music, so begin to start collecting! You will also need to bring the photos and music  to class on a flash drive.

At least one slide for each of the following:
1.     Title Slide: The Life of [Your Name]
2.     your birth [where, when, etc.]
3.     what you like to do with your family
4.     what you like to do with your friends
5.     your pets or vacations or your favorite clothes/ accessories
6.     your hobbies or what you do in your spare time
7.     your favorite books, magazines
8.     your favorite movies
9.     your favorite TV shows
10.  your favorite video games
11.  your favorite music
12.  what you want to accomplish in life
13.  Credits slide (a video clip made with Movie Maker)

• The presentation will have music running all the way through.  You may have more than 1 selection of music.   The music should only be instrumental, no vocals.
• Each slide will have a transition.  Each photo will have at least an entrance and exit animation.
• You may include a 1 minute video for one of the slides instead of photos..
