CHECK:

EMBED:

In 9_1_7 and 9_1_8 you have created your own presentation based on a chosen topic. This should be complete now but you can refer back to those activities if you need to.

Enhance your presentation further by creating your own Master Slides. This will help you to be more consistent with your design features.

Finished that?

Why not have a go at creating your own "corporate identity" for all presentations that you create? You can save your Master Slide and use it with all of the presentations that you create in the future.

CLASSROOM IDEAS:

At this point, the students should be quite capable at creating their own professional looking presentations. They should no longer be using loads of different fonts and animations with tons of text put on each slide. It would be a good idea to check their "Embed" presentations to make sure that they have fully developed their skills.
