MULTIMEDIA POWERPOINT BOOK REPORT

Assignment:You are to create a PowerPoint presentation to give an accurate account of your independent reading book. Below is what you must include in your slides. Be creative and have fun with it. You will be presenting the powerpoint to the class.

Make sure that you save the powerpoint in the student folder at school. These will be too large to store in Google Docs. When you save it to the S drive, make sure that you save it with your name on it. I will have a folder set up for your class period. Please don’t email any of the book reports! Email it to yourself or a flash drive so that you can copy and paste it into the S drive (student folder).

You will not read from the slides. Your presentation needs to be no more than 5-7 minutes. Use note cards to help you summarize each slide. Be short!!!
