1. Open your All About Me PowerPoint project.

2. Add one more section to your presentation. It's probably a good idea to make a Section Header slide for this section if you have done so for all of the other sections. (Be consistent!) You may choose the topic of this section. Some ideas include:
• My Family
• My Future Plans (What you want to be when you grow up, or where you want to go to college)
• My Hobbies (Things you do in your spare time)

3. Review your presentation to make sure that you have included all of the required elements. Make any last minute changes that you need to. Check each element off on your check list when you are finished.

4. When it is complete, please show me your presentation and I will sign it off. This project is due no later than Thursday (the last day of school before break).

5. Work in Khan Academy. Please finish any assigned exercises that you you have not yet mastered.

**Before you begin, please listen carefully (hands and eyes) to Mrs. Delatore's demonstration until you are excused to work on your own. P.S. This is a test to see if you can read and follow directions.

1. Open up your All About Me Power Point Project. If it is not saved in your folder on the desktop, then you did not save it correctly. Please pay close attention and follow directions carefully.

2. Today we are adding a new section to our project that is dedicated to your favorite things. Insert a new slide. Choose the layout called "Section Header." Give your section a title and, if you want, give it a subtitle.

3. Insert another new slide. This one is going to be for the content, so choose the layout called "Title and Content." Keep the same title that you used for your section title, and then fill in the content space with at least 4 of your favorite things. Feel free to add another slide if you need more space. You might include some of these favorites or think of some of your own:
• Book
• Movie
• Song
• Color
• Number
• Season
• Month
• Animal
• Sport
• Sports team
• College
• Military branch
• Subject (in school)
• Writer
• Actor
• Musician
• Holiday
• Theme park
• Place (to visit or go on vacation)
• Food
• Restaurant
• Quote
• State
• Country

4. Add a transition to one (or all) of your slides. Remember, don't get crazy. Wild transitions should be used in sparingly. (That means don't use them a lot and save them for just the right time.) They can distract from your presentation. If you want to have a transition on every slide, choose one that is more subtle.

5. Save your work: File > Save (if it has already been saved in the correct location)

6. Khan Academy: Please make sure your assigned exercises are passed off before going on to anything else.
