US State PowerPoint Project
This week will be researching a specific state and then we’ll create a PowerPoint presentation. Before you begin, I’m going to show you the “Do’s and Don’ts of PowerPoint”.
We’ve used PowerPoint before, but if you don’t remember how to use it you can watch a short video that shows you the basics. Go to the Video (V) Drive. Open the Osborne folder. Click on the “Computer Tutorials” folder. Open the “PowerPoint Basics” video.
You are going to research a state and create a PowerPoint about it. Here are your directions and the scoring guide: US States Project

You may use the internet to find information and pictures about your state. Below are a couple of resources that will guide you to the information you need.
Here’s a link that might give you some information about your state.

Making a PowerPoint without typing everything you want to say is a new concept to you. Look at this example to see how you might want yours to look. Which slide would better keep an audiences attention? PowerPoint Example
You will have 3 full classes to work on this assignment. I’m hoping/planning on starting presentations Thursday.
Save it as:
hr-last name-last name-the name of your state
