How To Create a Google Slides Presentation

Directions

  Please follow these directions carefully, as they will help you create a very basic Slide presentation. Hopefully, you will want to go beyond basic though. To do that, I encourage you to experiment with features of the program, and you should not be afraid to make a mistake on this assignment! 
  Also, the best Quizlets I received were from people that go help from their classmates. You all are very talented, and by helping each other out, you can create greatness!

1. In the bottom left of your screen, click on the Apps box (it is 9 small, grey cubes). A menu of choices will pop up.

2. Look for the icon that says Google Slides (it's yellow) and click to open it.

3. Next, choose a theme. You can choose the one that you like best. Then click "OK".

4. In the Slides toolbar, look for where it says Layout. When you click on it, it will give you several choices. Pick Title and Two Columns. It will be the best choice for us since we are comparing and contrasting Athens and Sparta.

5. Where it says Click to Add Title, you will put the title of your slide. The titles of your slides should be:

Geography           Government             Economy             Education          Treatment of Women and Slaves

6. Underneath the title, it will say Click to Add Text. In those two columns is where you will compare and contrast Athens and Sparta. The information you provide should highlight what similarities these two city-states had, and what differences they had.

7. After you complete a slide, you should click the red icon with the plus sign in the upper left-hand corner. This will give you a new slide to work on.

8. My advice is that you get the basics of the presentation done before you start adding extras. When you have done all five slides, and compared/contrasted Athens and Sparta thoroughly, you should then start experimenting with other features of Google Slides. Remember, trial and error is a beautiful, important thing!

9. When you are ready to submit your presentation to me, click the blue Share icon in the upper right side of the screen. Then, where it says Add People, put my e-mail address (wbuck@kippimpact.com) and then click Done.
