Martin Luther King Jr. - Video Collage Slide
You will make a similar slide focused on the same theme.
Requirements:
- Use Google Chrome
- Title: Suggestions -> I have a dream, our dream, MLK Jr Speech, Dream, Martin Luther King Jr, etc.
- Your favorite MLK Jr quote .
- Embed the YouTube video of the speech, to do so click "movies" and search for "mlk".
- At least 3 pictures of Martin Luther King Jr, or similar themed imagery.
Consider organizing them in a collage like I did use the "front" and "back" layer tools to help put them where you want them.
- Everything on 1 slide, do not make a second slide.
Consider these layout suggestions.
Respect each others slides - If you are not respecting others by editing someone else's slide you will NOT earn free time and be required to do typing practice the ENTIRE time.
