This weekend we are going to practice putting text on a picture using Microsoft Powerpoint and Microsoft Word. The assignment will be turned in on Edmodo. I have gone over the steps in class, given examples on the Smart Board and written detailed instructions. This is a practice for the final poetry project that will be due before Christmas. If you try hard and you cannot complete it, please be sure your picture was turned in through Edmodo and bring the memory stick to school on Monday. You can stay in at lunch and complete it with me.
You are going to practice putting text on a picture using Microsoft Powerpoint. You also need to have the poem you typed in class opened in Microsoft Word, in another tab.
Step 1) On the first Powerpoint slide, For the title, write” My Practice poem” use your own name instead of the word my. Move the title to the top of the page.
Step 2) Click the middle of the page, then click on Insert, then Picture, then From File. Click on the picture you sent though Edmodo last week. It will appear on your slide.
Step 3) Now click on Insert, then Text Box. Your cursor will become a little line. Click on the area of your image that you would like the poem to appear.
Step 4) Copy the text of your poem from Microsoft Word. Highlight it by clicking right where your text begins, then drag your mouse down until the last word of the poem. It should be highlighted. Right click over part of the text and select copy.
Step 5) Go back to the Powerpoint slide. Right click inside the text box, then click on paste. Now your text is on the picture. If you want to change the font, color or size, highlight the text, then click on the colored A button to change the color, or the number with the arrow to change the size.
Step 6) Click on the image to see the final product. If you are happy, click on File, then Save As and give a name to your poem.
Step 7) Turn it in through Edmodo.
I look forward to seeing them all!
