Hero Project - Due January 17, 2008

WRITING
You are to create a PowerPoint Presentation that tells the story of your hero's adventure.

Be Sure to:
Have a minimum of 9 Slides for the 9 Stages (A Minimum of 1 Slide per Stage)
The text should only be a MAXIMUM of a few lines for each slide
Consider having 1 graphic or drawing accompany each slide to assist showing the action of each stage.
You may need to scan in the graphics / drawings if you are creating them yourself.
You may need more than 1 graphic / drawing to show the action.
When you design the presentation think about how children's books are designed - in many ways this is what the PowerPoint presentation will resemble
Consider the use of color, sound and the different transitions between slides that PowerPoint offers. (If you look at the Star Wars films, the directors of the different films use a lot of the same transitions - fades, wipes, clockwise wipes, etc.)

EDITING and REVISING
Run the text through the spell check
Practice narrating the slide show. If your narration sounds clunky – you may need to go back and substitute words that look right on paper – but don’t communicate what you want when you read aloud.

PRESENTING
You will present the PowerPoint document and tell your story
