PowerPoint Project (50 points)

This project requires you to describe and present a task that is familiar to you. Some examples might be how make soup, how to do well in school, how to do well in this class, or how to look cool on the snowboarding slopes. You can choose what you want as long as it is appropriate and you can create an interesting presentation.

Option 2:

For this project you need to create a fairytale that can be shared with young children. The material for this project must be geared towards children in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. Keep the level of violence to a minimum. Mystery is much more frightening than gore.
