Days 4-6 **Using Google Presentation (found in Drive), create a presentation of the infomation you gathered in Step 2**

Rules: *Cover page is required, of course *Each box in step 2 should be its own slide. Boxes 6 and 7 could, conceivably, be two slides. *The next slide should be the names of the myths / folktales you were to find. Summarize two of them verbally - not in written form. *The third myth / folktale, I want you to retell over a series of slides. But here's the important thing. **I don't want any words on these slides. I want you to use pictures / graphics only.** Minimum of 5 slides, maximum of 10 for this part.

**Stuff You Should Already Know:** *Obviously there should be graphics on each page, a font I can read, and slide/font colors that won't make me or your classmates blind *If you read directly off of your slide (or simply add a word or two), your slide will be marked as zero points.
