Follow these steps carefully!!!!
1. First, Create a slide show consisting of 10 pictures. You may use any subject you like. Select a singer, athlete, team, automobile, anything you like. Create at least 10 slides.. Don't forget to use animations to add interest.
2. Select the first slide in the slide list. Then, hold down the shift key and select the last slide in the list. Now, all of the slides in the list should have a highlight around them.

Your next project will require you to use a couple of tools from your Google Drive, Slides and Google Docs. You'll be working with a partner to create a short biography on a character of your choice It can be a historical person or someone living. It can be a person from the world of sports, music, politics or popular culture.
First, you'll create a two page Google Doc that provides an overview of the person's life. Use the following outline as your guide.
Background
Birth date and place
Parents
What was the person's early life like?
Who influenced him/her?
Career
What were the person's major accomplishments?
Who did the person influence and how?
Closing
What is the person's enduring legacy?
How will the person be remembered?
Where does the person live now or where are they buried?
Works Cited - Create a single works cited page using MLA style. You must cite at least 3 sources for your paper.
Create your paper using 10 point Times New Roman double-spaced text. Create a title centered at the top with you and your partner's names on the next line in bold.
Second, create a Google Slides presentation using the outline for the paper as your guide. Your presentation should be 8-10 slides in length. When you are finished, you and your partner will present the slides presentation together.

Have you ever visited a dead or dying mall? Pretty depressing isn't it? What image does a dead mall project? Believe it or not, that's exactly the same image that you're projecting when you don't update your web site. People assume you're either deceased or you just don't care.
Right now, Take a look at your personal web site. Go to sites.google.com and look at your current portfolio. Does it reflect your best work? You've learned many things over the past few months and you've completed a number of projects. Some, you may have performed better at than others. Take a moment to review your best work and link it to the portfolio section of you web site. Also, change up or add any information to make your web site more up-to-date. Keep in mind that you'll need to do this a few times a year to keep your site relevant.
When you're done, send me an e-mail with the URL of your web site. The exercise is worth 10 points.
