How can I make my presentation look professional?A few general rulesDo NOT hog the network by browsing sites unrelated to your project.Do not go onto music sites see me about musicDo not play games EVER!Do not circumvent the firewallEVER!Failure to follow these rules can result in the removal of your network accessPERMANENTLY!Expect the network to be slow, but do not waste class time waiting for difficult sites to openlook elsewhere!

Working on the HHS networkAppsApplications provided for your use by the districtFor this project we will use Power Point or Movie MakerToday you will look at bothNO browsing during the lesson!You will get to start, dont be in a teenage hurry!FoldersEverything must be saved to the networkNOT the laptop on which you are working.SLOW DOWN and save deliberately and with a sense of organization!Lets get started! Open your laptop and sign in!Finding and Saving pictures

Make sure THIS folder is the one in which you save every item!Rename your pics so you can find them easily (Sacajawea 1) (Map of US) etc

DO NOT Save YET!DO NOT Save YET!DO NOT Save YET!Save ONLY if you have done ALL of the aboveAbout referencesEvery image must have a reference listed in your creditsHeres how to save your list: LETS DO THIS TOGETHER Copy the URL of your first ImageOpen a blank Word DocumentPaste the URL onto the blank document AND briefly reference to which image it belongs (Sacajawea 1) (US Map) etc.4) Save the word document as Works Cited in your World History (your names) folder5) Add to the Works Cited List every time you save an image6) This will be the 2nd to the last slide on your presentation.

Power Point and Movie ExpectationsBegin with your projects name and the names of you and your partner (see slide 1)The Second slide should contain the Essential Question for your topic. See phschool.com webcode mza 2151 for questions you might use.Each subsequent slide should endeavor to answer the Essential Question by providing supporting details. Begin with the broad idea and break into smaller examples.Now you have the basicsAre you saving every picture to your project folder?Are you saving every URL with a short description to your Works Cited document?Then begin your research!After collecting a BUNCH of info, choose your media!Choosing your program:Im good at this, but want to be AMAZING!I feel safer with PP and promise to venture into new ways to perk up my presentation.See slides 9-14 and the end 20-22

Im great at PP and need to expand my resume with the ability to make moviesI already know how to use both, but would like to really WOW myself with a great presentation.See slides 15-22

Power PointMovie MakerHow to use your folder of saved itemsClick on the icon for insert picture. If you have saved things properly you should find your saved pics in your world history (your names) folder. Find the picture you want to insert, click insert. Work on each caption before moving on to the next slide. Use text box for small photo captions..this feature moves and sizes easily

Mr. Blair and RipJP BlairYou can email images to yourself, then save them in yourProject folderBegin building your Power pointCollect at least 10 pictures, maps, paintings or other visuals (be sure to save the reference)You may use 1 personal (appropriate) pic!Phschool.com will have many pictures/maps you can embed available. Look in your text for webcodes like: mza-4174Build a basic powerpoint (no designs, transitions or sounds yet).Make sure you address the standard/essential questionTry some of the other features within the program before you move on.

Pictures and Captions

Word Art is cool!Cleaning it up!Go back and check your spelling and captionsAre the captions focused? Do they give supporting details that address the essential question? This should NOT be complicated! Ex: Sacajawea aided the men by showing them edible plants and roots

Have fun with it!Try adding animated clip art! Preview before insertingit wont play while in edit mode.

Try adding sounds! These load slowlyand you will be prompted as to when you want it to start automatically or when clickedUse transitions! This flips, slides, fades in or out etcbetween each slide

Get fancy with it!Now try the design featurechoose colors, designs and change them if you do not like them!Your most daunting task will be to narrate OR set your PP to music.

If you are narratinggo to: Insert/sound/record narration. Write out your script or you will spend hours cracking up! See rehearse timings under Slide Show tab.If you are using music you will need to record the timingthis tool will open when you hit Insert/sound/from file (or CD)

Movie Maker BasicsOpen windows Movie MakerYou can transfer all of your pictures and media into the project at one time just highlight them all, then click insert (or add media)They are in the top box right? Drag them down to the storyboard in the order you likeRearrange as you work through the project (just highlight and drag them)You can insert titles between pictures (before or after a highlighted picture is the option here)

Windows Movie MakerYou can write a caption Over pictures (check for fading it in or outdifferent animations)Credits at the end and the title at the beginning are also found under the add title option.

Save EVERYTHING into your network foldereven music! This media will NOT grab it from another source. Red boxes mean OOPS! You saved it wrong!

If inserting YOU TUBE videos use the embed feature, but also save the videos URL to your project folder just in case

Play, play and replay your movie (on the right side of the screen in the small media box) to check music timing, slide timing and text box placementThings to tryTimeline and storyboard modes are the best to work in.Sound files (insert a songwatch it show up at the bottom of the timeline. This can be moved or clipped. Yes, you may use more than one and/or parts of different tunes.Generic sounds are availablebut music files must be approved and provided by meMove your clips around to match the words to the song.

More on MMMake sure you are meeting the requirements! See slide 5 of this PP.Again, play and replaydo not save all the time! Save it as a project. Do not MAKE the movie until you are done. You can save the projectbut MAKE CERTAIN the project is saved to YOUR folder on YOUR network or all will be lost

one IMPORTANT thoughtIf you and your partner are prone to absences remember this:5% off YOUR project grade for each day you miss during this 2 week activityIf everything is saved in only ONE persons file, the other person is stuck for the dayExchange phone numbers or consider duplicating your work to both persons networksWhen completely finishedOpen the Network for MY file and send your project to me in my world History DropboxSend me only your completed project, not your entire folderPlease Put your names and Period as the name of the file you send.
