OVERALL POWERPOINT PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS (delete this slide when finished)

Powerpoint=powerful points...not paragraphs---RULE OF 6 by 6 (at most)
Though the powerpoint will have all 7 traits, you only have to present KNOWLEDGE (ELA and 3 MATH principles), and TWO other traits of your choosing. BUT...you must be prepared to answer questions regarding ALL of the other traits.
Document your process through photos, graphs, documents--and incorporate them creatively and relevantly in this presentation.
Use this powerpoint as a checklist, keep slides in the order they are (except the 6 traits after ‘knowledge’- move the 2 traits you plan to present to start that last section of your slideshow...following with the Conclusion slide). Use the Evaluation Rubric as a guide.
Make your slideshow visually appealing, not too busy, with readable fonts/colors

TITLE of CAPSTONE

(Choose a font that is readable, and think about keeping that font throughout the entire presentation. Be sure to also have high contrast with your words and background color choices so the viewer can see them. i.e. light on dark or dark on light...not light on light such as white on yellow, or dark on dark such as blue on black. If you choose a template, this is usually done for you.)
