PROJECT STEPS

1.

The Pet Rescue Committee has asked you to create a presentation announcing

the Halloween Howl Doggie Costume Contest. On Slide 1 (no title), type

Halloween Howl

as the slide title, then type

Doggie Costume Contest

as the

subtitle.

2.

To begin entering the content of the presentation, add a new Slide 2 using the

Two Content

layout.

3.

On the new Slide 2 (no title), enter text describing the costume competition as

follows:

a.

Enter

Costume

Categories

as the slide title.

b.

In the left placeholder, enter a bulleted list with the following items:

Funniest

Most Creative

Famous Person

c.

In the right placeholder, enter a bulleted list with the following items:

Best Twins

Best Dog Team

Bad to the Bone

4.

Continue entering content by adding a new Slide 3 using the

Title and

Content

layout.

5.

On the new Slide 3 (no title), enter text identifying the judging categories as

follows:

a.

Enter

Judging Criteria

as the slide title.

b.

In the content placeholder, enter a bulleted list with the following items:

Humor

Showmanship

Design

Wow! Factor

6.

With Slide 3 (“Judging Criteria”) still displaying, increase the indent of the “Wow!

Factor” bulleted item by one level to show that “Wow! Factor” is part of the

“Design” category.

7.

On Slide 4 (“Contest Rules”), decrease the indent of the “Wear registration

sticker” bulleted item by one level to show that “Wear registration sticker” is

separate from “Fill out registration form”.

8.

On Slide 5 (“Promoters”), replace “Promoters” with

Sponsors

in the title

placeholder.

9.

You will send this presentation to the rest of the committee for their feedback.

Because you want the committee to focus on the content, you format it with a

plain design. Apply the

Office

theme to all slides.

In Slide Sorter view, your presentation should look like the Final Figure on the following

page. Save your changes, close the presentation, then exit PowerPoint. Follow the

directions on the SAM website to submit your completed project.
