To create a portfolio showcasing the Earth's history and geologic time scale, follow these instructions:
1. Start by opening a blank PowerPoint presentation and saving it. Click on the File tab and select Save as. Navigate to your EDTECH7 folder and within the Unit 3 folder, save the presentation as "Lesson 7 Sequence of Events Presentation".
2. To incorporate the skills learned in this unit, use a sequence of events graphic organizer with 8-10 events displayed in the SmartArt graphic. Remember the steps used to create the graphic about the life cycle of the frog earlier in the lesson.
3. Include 8-10 slides within the presentation, with each slide containing the year and name of the event. You can use a combination of text and images/clip art to represent each event.
4. Add at least two images/clip art to enhance the visual appeal of your presentation. These images should be relevant to the events or topics being discussed.
5. Record a short clip of your voice to be added to at least one slide. You don't have to read the entire presentation, but provide a brief narration or explanation for that particular slide.
6. Insert a small table to showcase information or data that you found during your research. This table can display facts, statistics, or any other relevant information related to the Earth's history and geologic time scale.
7. Use a bulleted list to present an organized list of information. This can be used to highlight key points or summarize important details about the Earth's history.
By following these instructions, you can create a comprehensive portfolio that effectively showcases your findings about the Earth's history and geologic time scale.
