1. If you haven’t done so already, create a PowerPoint (ppt) and name it “About Me.” HINT: You can re-save this ppt as “About Me” so you don’t have to re-type anything.

2. Make sure your ppt has AT LEAST six (6) slides:1. Title2. Culture3. History4. Personality5. Hobbies6. Goals & Hopes

3. Read each slide on this ppt to get ideas for yours. Each slide has questions for you to answer.

What do I do?

4. Find a picture to represent your answer to each question. For example, since I’m from California, I might add a picture like this to my slide show:

5. For each picture you add, include the “Image URL” by right clicking on the picture to copy it:

6. When you are done, organize your slides in a way that makes sense to you. Try adding animations and transitions to make your slide show “pop.”

7. If you finish today, begin writing about yourself in a Word document (save it as “About Me,” too). Use the ideas from the ppt to help you as you write.
