**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.
