Classwork: Building a Slide Presentation
Each slide must have 5 elements:
1. the definition/description of the archetype 2. an image to illustrate the archetype 3. examples from stories in popular culture 4. example(s) from Fahrenheit 451 explained 5. a quote from the novel to exemplify the archetype so far. You may resize boxes and move them around. But do not change the color of the background. You have the rest of the period to build your slide and your script for presentation. Tomorrow you present showing off your ability to use your speaking skills.
