CC:  Students will organize note cards into headings/subheadings that will provide the basis for an outline (Inspiration software can be used.). Students will create a visual representation (e.g., charts, graphs, photos, timelines, etc.) of data/information gathered.

 

Students can also use PowerPoint software to create both an outline and visual representation of their work.

NOTE: After organizing their note cards in headings/subheadings, students can create an outline using PowerPoint software.  Students can enhance their information by inserting appropriate graphics into the accompanying slides, thus creating a visual representation of their information that can be shared with the class.

 

PowerPoint example of using the Outline view and resulting slides - "Albert Einstein"
