Today you will begin putting your research projects together for presentations. You will need to pick one of the following options, or one that you have already cleared with Ms. Chea:

1. If you are doing a Powerpoint, ONE of the people in your group click on this link and skip down to Step 3. 

  • This can be shared with the people in your group so all of you can work on it from home.

2. If you are doing a Prezi, ONE of the people in your group will need to go to the Prezi.com website and sign up using your google account. 

  • A different person on your team can play this video from their website to learn how to create one. 
  • The person who signed up is the only person who can access it from home unless you remember to share/send it to your other teammates. 

3. If you are doing a Poster, you will need to get a presentation board, markers, glue, scissors and construction paper to put your project together. 

  • You can either type out your project information (and then email to Ms. Chea at susanne.chea@kippbayview.org to print for you) or write it out by hand on blank sheets of paper. 

4. If you are creating some kind of video, you have a couple of different options: 
  • You can turn a Prezi into a video, just follow the instructions for signing up for a Prezi in number 2 and then watch this tutorial
  • You can also use the video camera on your chromebook to record yourselves on WeVideo.
  • You can also use this to make a cartoon video, however you must only use characters and scenes that are appropriate for school. 
5. If you are writing a play or short story, you will need to open a document on google drive that can be shared with your teammates. 

  • Type out your play or short story, then email it to Ms. Chea at susanne.chea@kippbayview.org
  • If you would like to illustrate your play or short story, you can create it in comic form here.
