Submit the completed powerpoint file to Sakai


You must first complete the AppleWorks Paint assignment before beginning the PowerPoint assignment.  Your Paint file will be inserted into the PowerPoint slide presentation as the first step in this assignment.  Although the PowerPoint assignment can be completed on a pc or macintosh, from home, work, or in a campus computer lab, you may find it easier to use a macintosh computer for this assignment since you will be copying an AppleWorks Paint file into the PowerPoint presentation. 
When completed, your PowerPoint presentation, including the Paint file as one of the slides, will be submitted to Sakai.
Note: Save a copy of the presentation file to Briefcase, Eden, or your USB drive before submitting it to Sakai.

Creating a PowerPoint Presentation

For this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation. Your presentation will incorporate animation, transition, and slide show features of Power Point into five slides that highlight information about your favorite music, list sources where the music can be purchased, and include the My Favorite Music poster you created for the Paint assignment. The completed, five-slide PowerPoint presentation will be submitted to Sakai.

To avoid losing data or having insufficient RAM memory, first create the PowerPoint slide that includes the My Favorite Music poster you created in AppleWorks Paint.  To do this:
1. Open the paint file and Copy it into the Clipboard. Close the picture file and Quit AppleWorks Paint.
Note:  Your Paint file will not copy correctly if is has been saved as a .cwk file.  Remove the .cwk extension before saving the image to the clipboard or desktop.
2. Open Power Point Project Gallery and select a Design from the Presentations option in the left panel.
Do not use AutoContent Wizard -- build each slide using New Slide option on the Insert menu
3. After selecting a presentation design, choose New Slide from the Insert menu, Picture from the Layout options, and Paste the Paint poster into the slide. 
4.  Using the New Slide option from the Insert menu, create the remaining four slides of your presentation. When you have finished creating the slides, select the Slide Sorter option from the View menu (or click on the Slide Sorter icon in the lower left corner of the window) to arrange the five slides in the following order:

5. Using the Slide Sorter View, from the View menu:

6. Select Rehearse Timings from the Slide Show menu to record the duration of each slide (about three to four seconds per slide); remember to manually click each bullet item in slide two and include this in the timing of the slide show.
Your total presentation should run no longer than thirty seconds.

7. From the View menu, select Header/Footer and add a Footer with your name and section number and apply to all slides.
