What does it mean to admire someone? • Admiration: an object of wonder, pleasure, or approval. • Someone you hold in great regard, affection, and approval. • Someone you look-up to.
Project Overview • You will each pick a famous person that you admire. • You will do research on this person using the Internet. • You will then create a PowerPoint slideshow on your subject to show the class.
Week One • Choose a subject by asking these questions: • Who is someone famous that inspires you? • Who is your role model? • Who do you aspire to be like? • Who has accomplished great things?
Week One (Continued) • You will spend the rest of Week One researching your subject in the computer lab. • You will need to collect ten detailed and interesting facts about your subject. • You will print these facts for me to collect by the end of Friday of Week One to check your progress.
Week Two • We will continue to work in the computer lab. • You will be given a flash drive on which to save all your work. • After participating in my tutorial on using PowerPoint, you will work in pairs to create two practice slides for evaluation.
Week Two (Continued) • Once you have successfully completed your PowerPoint practice slides you may begin construction of your slideshow for your most admired person. • You must include the ten facts that you researched on the Internet during Week One.
Week Three • You will continue to work on PowerPoint slideshows. • I will be grading on neatness, attractiveness, grammar, and structure. • You must include pictures/images of the person you admire. • You will need to provide a few key reasons why this person is significant to you.
Week Four • Presentations begin. • Each student will present their PowerPoint slideshow for five to ten minutes using the information stored on their flash drive. • You should speak clearly and loud enough for all to hear. • You should demonstrate enthusiasm for and knowledge of your subject.
The End • I will offer support to any who need it. • Feel free to work at home to complete and enhance your projects. • Remember to have fun as you learn!!!
