Task 2: A public presentation with a slideshow

This is a week for knowing each other before we start working together.

Everybody will prepare a little presentation with his/her autobiography.

The autobiography will include the following data: place of birth, early memories (briefly), school time (briefly), present work and family life.

Once you have organised your ideas you will prepare a slideshow with this information to be presented to the class at the end of the week.

You can use pictures to illustrate it, however we don’t recommend you to use music unless you have a good command of electronic tools.

Keep this slideshow on your pendrive, because we will need it later during the course.

Practical tools to write and edit a slideshow:

• Power Point (Microsoft)
• Google docs

Social webs to host and share your presentation online:

• Ning
