• Create a presentation with 4 slides– First should be a title slide with the name of your presentation

and your name.– Second should be a bulleted list of at least 3 items that you

would have liked to have received for Christmas but didn’t.– Third, should be a clip art and bulleted list slide telling what you

did get for Christmas and showing a picture of one of those items.

– Last slide can be anything you want related to your Christmas break.

• Each slide should have a different colored background.• Use a different font on each slide, but keep the same

font for the entire slide.• Insert a transition or animation on each slide.
