Creating Role Play ScenesCreate customised role-plays by pasting clip art characters on to a digital photo background of an appropriate scene such as outside a café.

Add speech bubbles - Autoshapes/Callouts, enter text and make each callout appear in the appropriate order.

Use photos taken with a digital camera of your local area or find authentic images from the target culture by using Google Image search.

Try using the Google page of the target language country!

Adding Sounds in PowerPoint 2010

File Formats• .mp3 most music from Amazon etc.• .wav – MS Clip Gallery sounds, other short sound

files, including recording directly into a PowerPoint using a microphone.

• .wma – Windows Media Audio files• .mid – MIDI - some music files found online All of these can be embedded into PPT 2010

although with earlier versions only .wav files

Adding Sounds (PPT version 2007 or earlier)

File Formats – as PowerPoint 2010BUT

• only .wav – Can be ‘embedded’ in the PowerPoint*.

• all other file formats will be linked so best to save the sound files in the same folder as your presentation!

*NB – To embed large .wav files you will need to change the sound settings in PPT as the default maximum is 50kb.

Ready made• In Clip Art – limited collection of sounds• Free and commercial sounds and music online

Record your own • Record in PowerPoint 2007 & 2010 (Insert tab, Audio,

Record audio...)Tutorial for earlier versions of PPT

MoviesFile Formats• wmv, mpeg, mp4, flv, avi etc. depends on how

recorded.• Use the movie reel icon in a content slide to add

a video file in your presentation or click Insert, Movie from file or clip organiser

• Choose whether to play file on mouse click or automatically

NB - your movie will not be embedded in the presentation, but linked to it so remember to save it in the same folder as your presentation!

So what is a Trigger?

What kinds of action could I have on my slides then?

It could be a sound, a movie, or an animation, like making some text or a picture visible on

the slide when you click the trigger.

It’s just an item on your PowerPoint slide — it could

be a picture, a shape, a button, or even a paragraph or text box — that sets off

an action when you click it.

Quel couleur?

Qu’est-ce que c’est?
