Multimedia means using more than one form of presentation. For example, in an oral report, you might also show pictures to help your audience understand your main points.
Think about the best way to present each type of information. Make sure what you show is big enough for people to see!
Write out all the steps in your presentation. For example, if you are going to show a picture, decide whether you will show the picture first and then talk about it or first talk about the picture and then show it.
Practice, practice, practice!
One of the most fun way to present your information is with a prezi . Here is the link to make a prezi! You need an e-mail to register for prezi.
If you don't have an e-mail you may want to use power point, that is part of WORD on your computer instead. You can make an online poster with glogster. Another fun program is bitstrips. You could do an interview with your famous Canadian for instance. For some other great ideas go to Ms. Wong at Laurier School.
