Powerpoint Presentation Software

This project is about making presentations using MS-Powerpoint.  Your assignment will be to create a Powerpoint presentation containing (A) a title slide, (B&C) at least two slides following the title slide (which contain your main presentation), (D) an ending slide, and (E) a fade to black after the ending slide.  Each of the two presentation slides should include a title, several "points", a "picture", and some animation.  

You can click here for an example of a Powerpoint show.  And you can click here for an example of the Powerpoint Program that produced the example show.  (These examples will operate better with some versions of some browser programs than with others.  But then, Powerpoint wasn't really written to be used to run examples from websites in this way.)

The topic of your presentation may be any that you choose.  If you can not think of a topic, consider a presentation of what you did on your last vacation, holiday, or recess.  

In class we will talk about MS-Powerpoint as an example of presentation software.  We will review how to create a presentation, how to create and format several types of slides, how to incorporate objects into slides, how to animate slides and slide elements, and how to save, print, and show presentations.  

You will need to turn in the following to the instructor on the date this assignment is due (check the class schedule):
  1) PRINTOUT #1:  A printed copy of your presentation.  Use the print option that prints three slides per page.  The presentation's title slide should contain your name, as well as the presentation's title.
  2) PRINTOUT #2:  None.
  3) DISK FILE:  A copy of the disk file on which you have saved your presentation. 
       The name of the file on the disk should be "presentation.ppt"
       The label on the disk should have YOUR NAME, and the words:
       ASSIGNMENT #05 -- POWERPOINT
  4) OTHER:  The above items are all that is required for this assignment.
