My class has been studying biographies of famous Americans. Just recently we finished reading about Helen Keller using our reading anthology as well as some grade level appropriate books. The kids were very interested in learning more about her and her life. For my final project I made a presentation on Helen Keller. The presentation that I prepared is something that I feel would be doable with my some of my students. I would be a great way to include reading, writing, speaking and research skills while at the same time working on their digital literacy skills.

I used the Powerpoint program to develop my slideshow. One of the questions that came up for me is whether it is possible to have the bulleted points come up one at a time during the presentation without having to created separate slides for each one. I wasn't able to figure out a way so perhaps someone with more knowledge can help me with that. I would  like to add some historical pictures of Helen Keller and possibly a timeline or other graphics to aid in the visual appeal of the presentation. To find what I am looking for is just going to take me some more time to research and put it together. I am confident that with time I will be able to accomplish what I am envisioning.

The OETS that this addresses are: 1(a,c); 2(b,c,); 3(a,b,c,d); 4(a,b); 5(b)
