Power Point
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. If
you don’t have those programs or a similar one, make sure your pictures were
turned in through Edmodo and bring the memory stick to school. You can complete
it at school.
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) Have your parents scan a
picture of your family member into your computer. Save it in the same place as
your Essay. If you don’t have access to any pictures, find some from the
internet that will match with what you wrote.
Step 2) On the first Powerpoint
slide, For the title, write “My Biographical Essay” use your own name instead
of the word my. Move the title to the top of the page.
Step 3) Click the middle of the
page, then click on Insert, then Picture, then From
File. Click on the picture you scanned or found on the
internet. It will appear on your slide.
Step 4) 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 essay to appear.
Step 5) 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 essay. It should be
highlighted. Right click over part of the text and select copy.
Step 6) 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 7) 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 8) Turn it in through Edmodo.
I look forward to seeing them all!
