The 8
Regions of North America
 Imagine
that your best friend has missed a few days of school. Meanwhile,
your class learned about the 8 regions of North America.
Your teacher is giving the class a test tomorrow. Your friend
panics and comes to you for help. If he or she fails the
test, mom and dad will take away his or her iPod and and
your friend will not be allowed to go anywhere but school
for six months!! You decide to be a hero and help out by
creating a study guide in Power Point for the test.
Creating a Power Point Presentation:
- Download the Power
Point template for your study guide here.
Save the file to your "My Documents" folder.
- Open your "My Documents"
folder and double-click on the "Regions of North America
Template" Power Point file.
- Each slide already has the name
of one of the regions on it. Your job is to add the information
you learned in class about each region to the appropriate
slide.
- You also need to find a picture
to place on each slide to help your friend.
Use the following links to help you
find images to use in your presentation:
