ThePeriodicTable-ItsAFamilyThing

The Periodic Table-It's a Family Thing! You will be working with your team to create one Keynote presentation for two or three different element groups (families). The information that you need to include is found on the instructions sheet (see document below). You will present your presentation on Thursday, November 12. (Yes, that means you and your group will be in front of the class!) You will need to submit your presentation into my Drop Box prior to the start of class that day. Name your presentation using the following as an example: Alkali_Alkaline-EarthPresentation.


 * Group Work Suggestions:**
 * Make a list of what needs to be done (research of information, media, slide design, etc.) and assign roles so everyone can always be working!
 * Set a timeline for when each part needs to be completed. Waiting until the last minute leads to disaster!!!
 * Do your work on time and to the best of your ability.
 * Ask for help from your group when you are having trouble (not when you are took lazy to try and do it yourself). If asked, try to be helpful. :)
 * Communicate daily, even if you do not have that class that day. This may just mean a 2-3 minute meeting at lunch to check in with each other.
 * Assign a speaking part to each team member (everyone much have equal responsibility) and PRACTICE!


 * Keynote Presentation Suggestions:**
 * Are the backgrounds consistent? (You may use different backgrounds for the different families.)
 * Is the background distracting from the information on the slide? (Too bright? Too dark? Too many colors?)
 * Is the text easy to read? Large enough? Color doesn’t blend with background?
 * Does each slide have a title?
 * Are you just reading from your slide? Your audience knows how to read!! Keep the text to a minimum and use what you write a starting point to expand and explain. Notecards are acceptable.
 * Are the images clear? (Did my resizing the image distort the picture?)
 * Are all facts, images, and videos (all media) cited correctly using superscripts? Do all media have a descriptive caption?
 * Is the bibliography slide organized correctly? (Is the citation format correct and are they numbered correctly? See the [|Secondary Library Resources] page for online assistance.) Is there one at the end of the slides for each family?

(**Print** on the back side of the directions page (document above). Make sure your name and families information is included!)
