Now that you've watched the Keynote tutorial videos, you should be comfortable with creating a new file and working with the different tools that are available. If so, you are ready to start working on your assignment for this module.
For your assignment, you will create a Keynote slideshow about a celebrity of your choice. Choosing a celebrity will make it easier to find the necessary photos and information. You may choose a musician, actor, author, sports figure or any other type of celebrity you can think of (as long as it's appropriate for school, of course).

You may choose a musician, actor, author, sports figure or any other type of celebrity you can think of (as long as it's appropriate for school, of course).
For this assignment, you should NOT copy and paste information that you find on websites. Instead, you should find the information on websites and then write the information in your own words.
You will also need to take note of the web addresses (URLs) of all pages that you get your images and information from. This is very important because you must include all of these links on your 'References' slide (see below). |
Once you've decided who your slideshow is going to be about, create a new Keynote file and get started. Your finished slideshow should consist of 8 slides. Be sure to USE TRANSITIONS and be sure to follow the other guidelines below:
NOTE: Even though certain slides specifically require you to include pictures, you can feel free to put pictures and other graphics on any slide.
Slide 1 - Title Slide: A title page slide with your name, homeroom, the name of the celebrity you've chosen and a picture of him or her.
Slide 2 - Childhood: This slide will provide a little bit of information about the person, but won't go too far in depth. You can mention such things as the person's birth date, where he or she was born, what he or she was like as a kid, etc.
Slide 3 - Career Highlights: A list of things that the person has done in his or her career. This could be movies they've starred in, books they've written, teams they've played for, etc. All of these things should be listed in chronological order (i.e., they should be listed in the order in which they happened). IMPORTANT: Include all of this information in a table.
Slide 4 - Notable Accomplishments: A brief list of the person's accomplishments, achievements, awards, etc.
Slide 5 - Interesting Facts: List some interesting facts that you were able to find about the person.
Slide 6 - Today: What is the person up to today? Perhaps he or she is no longer living. Perhaps he or she has retired. Or perhaps he or she is currently working on a new project. Either way, find out and include that information here.
Slide 7 - More Pictures: This slide will include 5-10 additional pictures of the celebrity.
Slide 8 - References: This slide will include a list of all webpages (links) where you obtained your images and information.
