Once the presentation has been finished, students will be assigned one of the 5 themes and an assignment to use their newly acquired skills from Google Drive Presentations to make a single slide informational "poster" of their theme. Each student will be assigned to a group and each group will work collaboratively to develop a consistent theme for their project including type face style, size, color schemes, etc. The assignment sheet for the project can be found here ( 5 themes assignment sheet ).
