Due: Sep 8, 2021 by 11:59pm

As we continue to build community, we'll each create a Google Slide that shares a little bit of information about who we are. This will also help us practice our technology and visual presentation skills.

Since presenting in front of the class can be stressful, and presenting about ourselves can be stressful, for this activity, we'll make a couple of adjustments:

1. You'll be able to present from your seat (you can screen share from your Chromebook to the Promethean board).

2. You'll partner up with someone of your choice and share your slide with them first. Then your partner will present your slide to the class, and you will present your partner's slide to the class.

On your slide(s):

Include your name.

Include two photos/pictures and two text boxes to go along with them.

Make sure that you appear in at least one of the photos.

Use at least two fonts, and at least two different font colors.

Use a background that is not plain white.

Use your slide(s) to share a little bit about who you are. You can share as "deep" or "surface level" as you would like. Every layer is interesting!

You only need to create a single slide, but if you would like to use more (for example, so you can put one picture per slide instead of three), then feel free.

Consider choosing any two of the following to include on your slide:

a hobby or sport you enjoy - you could include a photo of you involved in the activity and explain why you enjoy it.

someone important to you - you could include a photo of that person and explain something you have in common with them, or why they are important to you

something about who you are as a student - maybe a favorite class, favorite part of school, or something that you think should change at school.

a group you are a part of - this could be a club or sport you belong to; a part of your heritage, ethnicity, or nationality; a workplace or other organization, etc.

a current issue that is important to you

someone or something you want to be - this could be a future career or some other goal

something you value - this could be a personality trait, physical object, etc.

When your slide is complete, upload it to this assignment in Canvas.
