Due Wednesday, June 13th
- You will be making a small PowerPoint presentation

- It will give the highlights of your web page and projects over the quarter, or you may have it be a slide show of "What I Did for My Last Vacation.", or “What I Plan to Do for My Next Vacation” or the subject of your choosing.
- If you choose to discuss your vacation or the like, you should figure out how to weave in graphs and lists to complete the assignment. Whichever you choose, the slideshow must be UNIQUE and PERSONALIZED to you and what you have done.
- 30 percent of your grade is based on your creativity with this assignment. (Use of different fonts, backgrounds, etc.) So a basic fulfillment of the requirements will only give you 70% of the points.

- Your full name should be centered
- This font should be of a different size than the title

- Include a graph of your rating on the page (or a graph of things relating to your vacation, etc.)
- You can use any type of graph
- The x-axis should be the numbers of the homework assignment (or text )
- The y-axis should be the rating
- Includea few lines of text describing the graph
- This could be on the same page
- Choose the option which allows graph and text on the same page
- Page four

- UP-LOAD your PowerPoint file to WebCT
- You
must do this to receive credit for your final project
- People
generally do not use spaces in a filename. If you want to have a
space, use an underscore (“_”).
- Try
to use a short, meaningful file name, e.g.
“finalproject.ppt”
