What am I supposed to do for a portfolio? Which the following instructions.
Create a PowerPoint presentation detailing the information you found about the Earth’s history and geologic time scale.
Open a blank presentation. Then save it. To do this, click on the File tab, and in the File window select Save as. In the Save as window, navigate to your EDTECH7 folder. Then within the Unit 3 folder, save the presentation as Lesson 7 Sequence of Events Presentation.
You need to incorporate skills that you have learned over this unit:
Use at least one sequence of events graphic organizer with 8–10 events displayed in the SmartArt graphic; include the year of each event and the name of the event. Remember the steps you used to create the graphic about the life cycle of the frog earlier in the lesson.
Include 8–10 slides within the presentation with the year and name of the event.
Include at least two images/clip art.
A short recording of your voice should be added in at least one slide. You do not have to read the whole presentation, but provide a short clip of your voice recording.
Insert a small table to showcase information or data that you found in your research.
Use a bulleted list to show an organized list of information.
