Tips Step-by-Step Guides
The Assignment:
If you choose to
make your presentation using Inspiration software, you
have a number of choices.
- You can create a concept map showing each aspect of
your topic (include details and graphics for each).
- You can create an outline of your presentation with a handout.
You will also need to make a poster to use in your presentation. You
will still need
to include some graphics on your handout and on the poster to meet the
criteria in the rubric.
- You can use Inspiration to create a graphic organizer or note
sheet for us to use during your presentation as your activity.
Remember, your activity can be whatever you want; this is just one
option.
