Presentation Unit

Goal 
Learn how to create a presentation in PowerPoint while learning computer vocabulary.

Description 
You will be assigned a group (A, B, or C). You will create a PowerPoint presentation  with a slide for each term and definition with example pictures, animations, and transitions. On presentation day, you will be in a group of 3, one student from each letter group. You will take turns presenting your PowerPoint to each other, so everyone learns all the terms. There will be an online quiz at the end of the unit covering all the terms. You can use the embedded Quizlet to practice. Turn in your final project on Schoology.
