Mr. Gable

GOAL:  You will create an interactive timeline using PowerPoint that you will present to the class.  The timeline should demonstrate at least 8 events from Chapter 5 explaining the development of the Atomic Model.   Each event should have an image, video, or sound clip.  To create this timeline you should use your textbook, the Internet and class notes.  Directions are below.

Get Started
1. Navigate to find the Gable folder in the Sth Share.
2.  Open the Atom Timeline Template.
3.  Save the template to your I-Drive as a PowerPoint Presentation.  Save the file as “Timeline.lastname” (i.e Timeline. Steier)
Modify the Template 
1. Each page of the template contains a spot for at least two events.  
2.  Simply type your events into each text box.  You can cut and paste you’re your visualizations next to each event.  Be sure to write each event into your own words so that you are not plagiarizing.
3.  After you are done creating all of your events, you can custom the colors and fonts of your timeline by selecting the “Design Tab”.  Try to picks colors and fonts that are easy to read.
4.  Write a script and practice your presentation by hitting “F5” on the keyboard.  Use the space bar to navigate through the presentation.
