My Travels with…

Your Mission Design a Vacation PowerPoint like Mr. Schmidt’s

travels with Eminem PowerPoint. You will take a whirlwind vacation around the

world for 6 days…the last day in Chicago. You will be accompanied by a famous HUMAN,

dead or alive. You will visit 5 different sights or cities AND

Chicago with your famous dead-or-alive companion.

In each location, you and your companion will meet or spend some time with another famous person (dead or alive), an animal native to the location OR a product.

What your PowerPoint should include… 1 title slide 6 different backgrounds (1 each picture)…the last

one in Chicago. 6 different images of you (1 each picture). 6 different images of your companion (1 each

picture). 6 different images of people, animals or things you

encounter (1 each picture). At least 6 different layer/image adjustments or

filters (1 each picture). 6 paragraphs describing your journey and

associated events (1 each slide). 7 PowerPoint transitions.

What you should keep in mind while creating your PowerPoint…

Be creative. Be professional. In other words, sloppiness won’t get you

the job…or the grade. Use the selection tools wisely and carefully. Don’t forget the clone stamp, the patch tool and the

healing brush. Use filters subtly and realistically. Don’t dawdle: you have from today until Friday May 23rd to

complete the PowerPoint. Don’t be embarrassing…to yourself or others: you will be

presenting your PowerPoint to the class on 1 of 2 days following the completion of the project.
