Assignment 4

For my project I created a short smart board presentation introducing the book Fever 1793, it includes some facts and pictures that would be elaborated on if presented by the teacher. It also includes a prezi presention with more information and pictures that would peak the student's interest in the book. Originally I was going to make a movie so that I could add music to the presentation but I didn't end up having the software to accomplish this. It would be more effective as a presentation if I could add some dramatic music. However it still worked for me to do a prezi instead and it was useful figuring out how to use prezi.
