Unit 1 - History of Flight

In this chapter, you will be presented with a set of photographs that highlight key milestones in the history for flight.  Your goal, as a class, will be to place these pictures in chronological order.  After reviewing the order, you will select one milestone, and prepare a five minute presentation, using Google Slides.  Your presentation should include some detailed narrative of the situation that lead to your milestone, an explanation of the significant event or invention, and the ramifications of this achievement.

Hints for a better presentation:

1.  Your slideshow should be packed with pictures, diagrams, short videos.  Do not include too much text.  If the audience is reading your slides, they are not listening to you.

2.  Face your audience.  Do not face the screen.  Speaking to the audience without reading to them shows confidence and gives the impression that the presenter in an expert.

3.  While the time period in which the milestone was achieved in important, we do not need to know the exact birth date, elementary school attended, date of death and cause of death of the person involved.

4.  Be careful with the background colors and text colors/font sizes you choose.  Make sure they are easy for the audience to read.
