research questions

*What is my power point presentation going to be about?
The pressentaion is going to be about teen life
This matters because not alot of people know much about what goes on in the life of teens they only assume. This will also give teens a chance to reflect on their life through poetry and stories.

*where am i going to get the stories and poems?
I can get them from the internet and classmates and friends
This matters because its what the whole presentaion is about.

*how am i going to get people to participate in this?
This matters because i need this so that i can put the presenation together

*how am i going to put the presentation online?
This matters because this is how i am going to show the presentaion but i dont know how to do it.

backwards planning

) My idea is to make a PowerPoint presentation, instead of a book,
about teen life(poems, writing, etc.)
2) To do this first would have to get people who are willing to write
these poems or stories about teen life.
3) To get people who can submit those things i need to go around and
ask people or find some way to get it known.
4) When i finally know what people would submit this i need them to
take or give images that relate to the story or poem.
5) I would have to find time and space to take pictures if the person
doesn't have images. i could use my digital camera but i would have to
get permission to bring it in school
6) Then i need music that relates to the stories and poems.
7) Then i would have to learn how upload music to put it into a
PowerPoint presentation.
8) I would have to put every thing together into the PowerPoint presentation.
9) Then i have to edit the presentation to add custom animation, slide
transitions, color schemes, etc. i could do this at home.
10) finally i would have to show it online.

Digital Portfolio Idea

My idea is to create a presentation with poems or stories about teen life in and outside of school.
People can turn in stories or poems about this that they have written and i turn it into a presentation with animation, music etc. It is a slide show.
