PARENTS & STUDENTS WHO NEED THE GUIDELINES FOR THE POWERPOINT BOOK PROJECT
AR Sample Book Project_Catching Fire 2
Above is a sample made by me of what I am looking for with the Powerpoint Book Project. No, I am not asking for it to be directly like this one.I want students to use their own creativity and make theirs even better than mine. Basically, it just gives you an example of WHAT ORDER to insert the slides and WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED in each slide. ALSO, there are written directions under the “Online Assignments” page to the right.
****STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THEIR PROJECTS ON THIS BOOK. ALSO, THEY WILL NEED TO HAVE READ AND TESTED ON THE BOOK DISCUSSED IN THIS 9 WEEK PERIOD TO GET CREDIT FOR THIS BOOK PROJECT. THIS WILL BE A TEST GRADE.
