Student powerpoints

Students will prepare PowerPoint slide shows depicting highlights of their personal lives and academic lives. Topics for slides will include pictures showing them as infants through present time. One picture will fade from baby to present to introduce the slide show. Students will remember their first day of school, favorite subjects, field trips, important events, as well as describing future goals and ambitions.
Digital cameras will be used to take pictures of some to their photos to be uploaded to their PowerPoint. They will also take pictures of friends and places of importance throughout the school. Students will also download images from the internet to enhance the look of their presentation.
