Friday- final day in computer lab to complete your poem-

1)complete PowerPoint with images.

2) record narration of yourself reading poem

3) email poem to me: gorham1314@gmail.com

4) create an invite to the poetry reading and email it to a family member or teacher

Instructions from yesterday are below .......

Today we are going to be putting our "io sono" poems into powerpoint.  I made a sample below, but yours will have a voice over!

Your powerpoint should include your poem, one line at a time, with an image and your voice reading the text in Italian.  The final slide of your poem should be the entire poem written out with all of the images together.  This slide I will print to hang in the classroom. You do not need to record yourself reading the final slide.

See the video below for help with powerpoint basics.

To add a voice over, go to "Insert" and "record narration".  Be sure to check "link narrations" box. It will be embedded in your powerpoint.

Now set timings so that the powerpoint will run automatically.   Go to "slideshow" on the top bar, then to "record slideshow".

Good luck! And if you have any issues, many of your fellow students are experts and can help, or you can call me over!

When you are finished, use power point to create an email invitation in Italian and English - send it to a family member or teacher who might want to attend our Poetry Reading!  CC: me on your invite so I can give you credit for sending it out.   Include this important information:

If you have good technology at home, try to see if you can do a Prezi there - otherwise I'm hopint to teach you with some more updated school technology in December or January.

I made one last night - it took me a few minutes to get used to it, but it was pretty quick and easy once I got the hang of it!  Here's my sample...

Now it's your turn!  Follow the steps below if your'e a first-timer.  If you know how to use Prezi already, go ahead and get started on your home - and please help out classmates near you who are having trouble!

Go to: https://prezi.com/

Click on "Get Started"

Then click "Use Prezi for Free" option.

Create a "free public account" by typing in your name, email and password.

Once you are in, create a new Prezi.  You may choose a template, or create a blank Prezi - the format is circles.

Add your poem by typing one line into each circle.  Go to "insert" to add pictures or video."

Adding your voice over is a little more complicated - you will need to open a new application on this computer, such as Quick Time or Audacity.  Create a new "audio track" - one track for each line of the poem.  After your track is created, go to "insert"

Here's an online tutorial if you're having trouble getting started!
