Magazine+Powerpoint+Project

//**About Me Magazine **// //**Project Outline **//

The goal of this project is for students to display information about themselves through a magazine. As we learn how to create Powerpoint Presentations, I wanted to give the students the opportunity to apply these skills into something very meaningful – an entire magazine dedicated to their life!

The project will be completed in class but, in addition, students will have to work on this outside of class.

Step 1: Choose a Title Step 2: Choose your Headings (Choose a minimum of 4 Headings) Examples:
 * Where I was Born -My Family
 * My Favorite Toys -My Favorite Sport
 * What I am Good At -When I Grow Up

Step 3: Write a description under each heading
 * Descriptions must be written in complete sentences. These descriptions must include why something/someone is important.

Step 4: Decide on Graphics/Pictures
 * The Graphics/Pictures in your magazine can either be hand drawn OR pictures taken with a camera.
 * Students – Make sure to ask permission before taking any pictures for your magazine.
 * Captions – Make sure to include a short description of the pictures.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">There needs to be bold words throughout your magazine. The words you make bold are your choice, but you need to have a reason why you are making them bold.

I want know more about you, what you like/dislike and your family.
