- 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.

- 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

“finalproject.ppt”
