In this creative exploration project, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery as you craft a visual narrative about who you are. You'll use Google Slides to share aspects of your identity through thoughtful design and reflection, considering what parts of yourself you want to present to the world.
Through this project, you'll not only learn technical skills in Google Slides, but also develop important digital citizenship awareness about what information is appropriate to share online. You'll respond to guided prompts and transform your written answers into visually appealing slides that represent your unique personality, interests, and experiences.
Remember: This is your story to tell. Be authentic, thoughtful, and creative as you build a digital presentation that reflects who you truly are!
Step 1 - Visit Google Classroom and secure a copy of the Google Slides project template.
Step 2 - Fill in the prompts on the slides … be detailed and descriptive.
