This Is My Letter to the World

Assignment: Create a PowerPoint or Prezi that shows your view of the world. It should be at least six slides. Use a metaphor to describe your view of the world (world as staircase, as a game, as an adventure) and find graphics and quotations that support your view. Include a slide that says "I chose these pictures because... The quotations I chose are significant because..." You have two hours in class to do this. If you do not finish, it is homework. We will show the presentations to the class on Thursday.
