Final Project - Due Thursday, June 30, 2005 at 2:30

A PowerPoint presentation that you can use in your class. I'd suggest a "Welcome Back" presentation that includes your class rules and expectations. The presentation should include the following:

Title Slide - Use Word Art
Menu Slide with at least 3 Options (Rules -Expectations - Credits)
The Credit Page/About the Author page should talk about you and give a URL link back to your school or something of special interest to you.
Enough slides to explain your rules and expectations.
Transitions from Slide to Slide
Some Graphics and Text with Animations with Timers(Use this conservatively)
Some Sounds (Use this conservatively)
Keep the file size small so that you can E-Mail it to yourself.
Buttons Connecting your project

Connect from the Title page to the Menu page.
Connect from the Menu page to each of your 3 sections.
Connect from each slide back to the Menu Page.
