For the family section in my PowerPoint, I added pictures of my family. One member in my family is my mom, Mary Anne who is 41 years old, and another is my dad, John who is 42 years old. I also have a younger brother, Brock. He is 11 years old and in 6th grade. Lastly, I have a dog named Cali, who is almost three years old and is a chocolate lab; she is about 75 pounds. In my PowerPoint I used a picture of my parents, one of my brother, one of my dog, and one of my parents, my brother, and me over the summer.
In the inherited features section, I used three pictures. One of my pictures is a picture of my eye; I used this because my eyes are blue, along with my parent’s and my brother’s eyes. I also used a picture of light brown hair because when my parents were both kids, they had light brown hair, and my brother also has about the same color hair as I do. Lastly I added my height—I will always be this tall because I am done growing—5 feet 3 inches. My mom is 5 feet 6 inches and my dad is 5 feet 10 inches—both medium sized. Although my parents are both on the short side, I may be even shorter.
For the outer appearance section, I added many pictures of my favorite brands and types of products I use. My favorite clothes brand is Hollister, so I included that in my presentation. I also really like Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, H&M, and Pink. My favorite shoes that I own are Uggs—the same ones as in the picture—so I used that as one picture. The shampoo that I use is Herbal Essences, and I really like the lip gloss brand of Soft Lips, so I also put those in my PowerPoint. Most of my favorite clothes brands and other brands are included in this section.
In the inherited traits section, I used three pictures describing things that describe me and that describe my parents. Along with everyone else in my family, my predominate hand is my right hand. No one—except for my grandparents—in my family have glasses, including me, so I took a picture of glasses and put a circle with an “x” to show that I don’t wear glasses or contacts. Another thing that I put in a circle with an “x” to show that I don’t have, is the word allergies. Most people in my family don’t have allergies, and neither do I.
For my social behavior section, I used three pictures that show what I do in my free time. One picture is my soccer picture because I like to play soccer with my friends. Another picture I put on there was a picture of our recent student council shirt; I used this because me, along with my friends, are active in student council. Lastly I put a picture if my iPod because I like to use it to talk to my friends. In my free time, I really like to hang out with my friends, and do things that involve them.
Under the talents, skills, and abilities, I used pictures that show success over my life. One picture is of a soccer trophy that shows that my team won first place in a tournament. I used a picture of a certificate from the Pewaukee VFW post. Recently, my friend Emma and I entered a contest where we had to write an essay, and ours were some of the winners—we had to go and read our essay in front of veterans and other winners and their families; that being the place where we got the certificate along with a check and a few other things. For the talents and skills section on that slide, I used a clip art picture of an art pallet and paint brush to show that I am creative, and enjoy drawing and all art.
I have a few plans that I hope to achieve when I am older; in my future plans section, I used pictures to show those plans. One of my plans is to graduate from a good college; in the PowerPoint, I showed an image of the UW Madison mascot, Bucky Badger, with a graduation hat on it to show that I want to go to a good college and graduate. Another picture I used was a heart with a wedding ring to show that I want to get married. Lastly I had a picture of a stick family to display that along with getting married, I also want to have a family.
In my eating habits section, I have some of my favorite foods, drinks, restaurants, and foods I don’t like. Some of my favorite foods are Mac and Cheese and Hershey’s Dark Chocolate. I also like the fast food restaurant Subway. My favorite drink is lemonade; the only soda I drink is Sprite. I put an “x” through a bottle of hot sauce because I don’t like spicy things at all. I also put an “x” through a tomato because I don’t like tomatoes either. There are pictures of most of my favorite pictures in this section.
In the fears and pet peeves, I put mostly pictures of what I am afraid of. I hate spiders, and am afraid of them, so I put a picture of a big spider on this slide. Another insect I’m afraid of are bees, so I added a picture of a bee in this section. One scary movie that I watched had a character named Samara, so I found a picture of this creepy character and added her to the slide. Snakes creep me out, so I included a picture of a huge snake. I’ve never liked storms, so I put a picture of a tornado on this slide. Lastly I hate and I am very afraid of clowns, so I put a picture of a clown that looks like one that was at a haunted house I went to in this section.
For the favorites section, I included pictures of some of my favorite things. One of my favorite singers is Taylor Swift, so I put a picture of her album on it. My favorite number, and my number for everything, is 32, so I included that on this slide. At the theme park, Six Flags, my favorite rollercoaster is the Raging Bull, so I found a picture of it and added it to my presentation. My favorite colors are hot pink, lime green, and bright blue so I made a design of these colors and put that in this section. Finally a few months ago my friends Jordan Blaser, Emma Jansen, and I went to the Justin Bieber concert. It was so fun, and we all got matching shirts. Since this was my favorite concert, I put a picture of the shirt we got on my favorites slide.
In the emotions and feelings section, I found pictures that I had that show different feelings. For “laugh” I put a picture of Emma wearing a Marty Gras mask on the slide. I used a picture of my dog and I for the “love” part. Finally I found a picture of Sarah and I jumping and used it to express “free.” My friends and I have had so many great times together that clearly express these feelings.
Under the life experiences section, I put pictures that show things that have happened to me over the course of my life. I was born in West Des Moines, Iowa—and lived there until I was four years old—so I circled the county that the city was in, and put it under this section. Last year during a basketball game, I broke my ankle and had to have surgery, so I put a picture of me right after I got my second cast. Until the end of third grade, I had a black lab named Sadie. Unfortunately she got very sick and we had to put her down, so I put a picture of her and me on this section.
I really enjoyed doing this project for a number of reasons. One thing I liked was taking pictures of my own and using them instead of cutting pictures out of a magazine. I also think that since we have laptops now, using the computers was a very good idea; I think it made the project a lot more interesting. This was a great project and I think that you should do it the same way for your classes next year.
