Governor Schwarzenegger needs your help. The Governor would like to send a presentation about California to children that have just moved to the state. This is where YOU come in! You are going to create a Powerpoint presentation all about California. 

Before you start here are a few helpful hints:

• If you need a basic review on how to create a Powerpoint Presentation, you can view a video tutorial at: http://video.about.com/presentationsoft/Start-PowerPoint.htm NOTE: There may be a commercial before this video actually starts.
• If you're stumped on how to do something, try using the Help feature built in to Powerpoint to see if you can figure out how to do what is asked.
• If you're still stumped, raise your hand and I'll come over to help.

Now on to building your presentation! Just click on the first slide to get started or click on where you left off if you've completed some slides. There are links on the bottom of each slide page to go to the next slide. Finish what is required on each slide before you go to the next slide.

THE SLIDES:

1. Title Slide
2. State Symbols
3. State Flag
4. State Nickname & Motto
5. Statehood & Government
6. State Map
7. Places to Visit
8. Famous Californians
9. Fun Facts

Once all of the content of your slides is complete, you can move on to the design and effects.

THE FUN STUFF:

10. Background
11. Animations
12. Transitions

Once everyone is done, we will be going around the classroom to watch all of the presentations.
