Medieval Times Portfolio
By Beth

My students are creating a Power Point presentation of what they learn about medieval times. It is not a research project necessarily, however, several have added information and pictures form the Internet. It is amazing
how quickly they pick up on how to proceed. We have an LED projector and they are thrilled when I display their ongoing project on the large screen.
They were to have minimum 7 slides: title page, amazing facts, description of their castle projects, description of their role for our upcoming faire, interesting events in the novel "The Whipping Boy", and a Plus/Minus/Interesting page.

Any other pages are their own doing.
When I went to a workshop on Powerpoint they recommended that students create their text first then teach them all of the slide backgrounds and transitions. So right! I wasn't strict enough in that regard and am still pulling teeth to get them to work on the text. Pictures, transitions, and slide backgrounds are much more interesting.
