Task 2 - Create a Powerpoint

Your Powerpoint needs a minimum of 5 slides.

You must include text and pictures in your PowerPoint.
(Optional things to include in your PowerPoint:  Colored fonts, transitions, animations, sound effects, video clips, note-taking sheet, etc...)
 

Here is an example of how your presentation could go.

Slide 1 - Name and Picture of President
Slide 2 - Childhood
Slide 3 - Presidency
Slide 4 - Accomplishments
Slide 5 - End of Life
(You don't have to do it this way.  Do it however you think is best.)
 

Task 3 - Share the Powerpoint
When you're finished, you may either email your presentation to me at school as an attachment or bring it on a disk.  Then, you will be able to share it with the class.
