PowerPoint Presentations (Assignments)

While I'm at Kairos, you will create two PowerPoint Presentations ("Better Burger" and "Stress"). The first one is already almost done, all you have to do is add a template to it (slide design), add some Clip Art, change the font to your liking (the same throughout the whole presentation), etc. The second one is a presentation called "Stress." Please READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. The instructions and the Better Burger Presentation can be found in the Server (Labserver) under Classes 11-12 in "keyboardall" inside the "keyboardassignments" folder. You will also receive print-outs of these instructions.

If you need to check the Microsoft Office 2010 textbook to learn how to create better presentations or how to add transitions or animations (or other), please feel free to use it. Check the PowerPoint Chapter starting on page 463. The textbooks are in the black metal bookshelf on the left side of the Windows Lab. You can also help each other, but please work quietly and be considerate with the Substitute Teacher. I will ask him/her about your behavior and cooperation. He/she will have seating charts, so that they can monitor your work better.

You can also work on your Keyboarding Lessons (MicroType) and if you wish, practice some of the Timed Writings, like I showed you Monday in class (using the www.sense-lang.org/typing website - using the Typing Tutorials and clicking the Practice your own text green button and then entering the text of the timing in the white box and clicking "practice the text" tab. You may want to practice Timed Writings 1 - 5 first (one, two or three paragraphs). If you are more advanced, you may practice any of the other timings (6 - 13).

When I come back from Kairos I will check your reports to see how you are doing and if everyone completed the Alphabetic Keyboarding Lessons. Those who haven't completed these lessons can concentrate on finishing them, instead of working on timings. Those who started working on the Keyboarding Skill Builder Lessons can work on timings, or repeat the Timed Practices in the Skill Builder Lessons. Remember: those working on these Skill Builder lessons must first work on Accuracy (Focus: Accuracy).

GOOD LUCK!
