PRESENTATION TASK Classroom Context: This performance assessment focuses on a fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Garza, who is preparing a unit on clouds. Background: As part of the study on clouds, Mrs. Garza would like to present to his students a brief slide show presentation on the different types of clouds. She would like to have each slide in the presentation advance manually. Mrs. Garza has provided a link to the graphics for the four slides that can be downloaded by clicking on the links below.

The Task: Mrs. Garza has asked the Master Technology Teacher for assistance in creating the presentation. Using your knowledge of presentation software, create a model slide show presentation to Mrs. Garza’s specifications. In creating this presentation, you should: • Create an introduction slide that provides the subject, date and teacher’s name. • Create slides 2 through 5 using the five files provided by Mrs. Garza. Each slide should • Contain a title, an appropriate graphic image and text provided displayed as a bulleted list. • Animate the entry of the text of slides 2 and 4 (the animations should occur • Automatically and not require a mouse or keyboard click). • Animate the entry of the graphics in slides 3 and 5 (the animations should occur automatically and not require a mouse or keyboard click).
(Slide # 3)Altocumulus clouds Middle level clouds that are made of water droplets Appear as gray, puffy masses, sometimes rolled out in parallel waves or bands. Often means thunderstorms may occur (Slide # 4)Cumulus clouds Puffy clouds that sometimes look like pieces of floating cotton Base of each cloud is often flat and may be only 1000 m (330 ft) above the ground Top of the cloud has rounded towers.. These clouds grow upward All photographs from http://eo.ucar.edu/webweather/ (Slide # 1)Stratus clouds Uniform grayish clouds that often cover the entire sky. Resemble fog that does not reach the ground. No precipitation but sometimes they may drizzle. When a thick fog "lifts," the resulting clouds are low stratus. (Slide # 2)Cirrus clouds Thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers. They are considered "high clouds" forming above 6000 m (20,000 ft). Usually move across the sky from west to east. They generally mean fair to pleasant weather.

Stratus Clouds • Uniform grayish clouds that often cover the entire sky. • Resemble fog that does not reach the ground. • No precipitation but sometimes they may drizzle. • When a thick fog "lifts," the resulting clouds are low stratus.
Cirrus Clouds • Thin, wispy clouds blown by high winds into long streamers. • They are considered "high clouds" forming above 6000 m (20,000 ft.). Usually move across the sky from west to east. • They generally mean fair to pleasant weather.
Altocumulus Clouds • Middle level clouds that are made of water droplets • Appear as gray, puffy masses, sometimes rolled out in parallel waves or bands. • Often means thunderstorms may occur
Cumulus Clouds • Puffy clouds that sometimes look like pieces of floating cotton • Base of each cloud is often flat and may be only 1000 m (330 ft.) above the ground • Top of the cloud has rounded towers. • These clouds grow upward All photographs from http://eo.ucar.edu/webweather/
