Assignment• Using the T chart provided in the next 3 slides. You are to

research 3 separate products on the internet. You can work in pairs of 2. There can be 1 group of 3 if we do not have a correct number of students in the room.

• Find the updated version of the product that has updated technology to benefit the user and make life easier. And find the older version, like my examples in this PowerPoint.

• Compare and contrast both products and determine the characteristics that are alike and different

• Prepare your own PowerPoint Presentation and the PowerPoint instructions are on the following slides.

PowerPoint instructions You can copy and paste the remaining slides from

this PowerPoint or you can create your own but make the layout similar.

You need to include how they are alike and how they are different. So if you don’t use these slides, make sure you use them as a guide and choose the layout that is called 2 Content.

Each of your 3 products need the following 3 things

1) A picture of the updated technology VS the product in the past. (ex: the book of calories VS getting it online now) on slide 1 include your names and class period

PowerPoint instructions

2) Your PowerPoint must be 6 slides and not less or more.. You want it to print on 1 page. I don’t know if I want you to print… So wait for that!!!!!

3) You must have a T chart for each of the 3 products (you can copy and paste my slides) My examples start on the next slide and continue.

Or create you own. But the format has to be the same.
