LEARNING GOAL #3 - Introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint: Students will be able to work with a team, form an outline, then build and share a multi-slide presentation using a variety of features from Microsoft PowerPoint 2016.
LESSON OVERVIEW: Today, we will be taking what we learned about presentations and outlines during the past two classes and begin learning to build presentations/outlines with Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint. At this point, you have learned the value of an outline, the value of a thesis statement, and the value of an engaging presentation. It is time to learn how to improve our skill at writing outlines and how to include proper research in an outline, a research paper, and at the end of a PowerPoint.
