Learning Target: I can create a website-like presentation of a selected topic that looks and functions like a website.


1. Open a new PowerPoint file.
   Save as topic + your name (for example: china steve glickman).
   Save in your folder.
2. Create a home page, including:
• Title of topic
• Image(s) representing the topic
• Website created by...Student name & date
• Hyperlinks connecting to ALL of your information pages
3. Create 3 or more information pages about the topic. Each page must contain:
   • Summary of the major points
   • Images matching the major points
   • Hyperlinks to all of your pages
   • If your topic was a world culture, your page topic choices might include:
     • Geography (include maps with major physical features labeled)
     • Social Life
     • Religion
     • Government/Dynasties
     • Language
     • Achievements & Inventions
   • If your topic was a historical figure, your page topic choices might include:
     • Statistics (Name, years lived, Birthplace, Raised, Best Known As:, etc.)
     • Life Summary Timeline
     • Why was this person important?
     • Maps of where this person lived
     • Achievements
     • Little Known Facts
   • Generally, you can assume that every topic requires careful consideration when choosing what to include in your information pages. Generally, though, you will want to include the following:
     • Summary of Topic
     • Why is this topic important? ...important today?
     • Images (Be sure to credit your images sources!)
     • Time Line
     • Maps
     • Important Facts (Be sure to credit your information sources! Don't "steal" information and claim that you wrote it!)
     • Anything else that is relevant to your topic
4. Create a design with the following elements:
   • Consistent color scheme
   • Consistent layout
   • Consistent hyperlinks design & location
   • Minimal sound & animation, if any
   • Should look & function like a webpage
