How to Make Your Parts of
Speech PowerPoint Book
Other Helpful Hints

Avoid working on this project at home and in school. That’s how
problems in formatting and compatibility occur.
Remember that you need to use at least six electronic images in
your book.
Oftentimes, light background colors will remain white when printing
here at school. The final slide in these directions is supposed to be
yellow but prints out white.
White text will print black on school printers. The “Boun” in
Bouncing on Audrey’s picture is white on the computer.
Remember that you need to use and underline at least four nouns
on the nouns page, four adjectives on the adjectives page, and four
adverbs on the …

The parts of speech you need to make pages for are as
follows:
Audrey finds the perfect spot for napping.
Bouncing, Pouncing, Licking, Lapping,
(6) Begin researching nouns. Use any notes you’ve taken
in class and the grammar and usage section of the
Writing Help page on Mr. Stratton’s Classroom Online.
There are tons of web sites there for parts of speech
research.
(7) Avoid designing your cover, title and back page first.
These pages will be worth fewer points, so save them for
last.
(8) Once you’ve researched nouns, write your “nouns”
text and add whatever images / pictures you are going to
use for “nouns.” Remember that you need to use at least
7 images / pictures total in this book, and that you need
to give credit on the back page for images taken from
web sites.
(9) Select images you have to reduce in size over images
you need to enlarge. Enlarging images makes them
pixilated. Reducing an image keeps the dots per inch
consistent, maintaining photo quality.
(10) To reduce the size of an Internet photo in
PowerPoint, select the image, place your cursor over a
corner of the image, hold the shift key, and drag the
cursor toward the opposite corner. This will reduce both
the image’s height and width proportionally. See page 7
for a diagram of this.
(11) You can also use the crop function to make the
image fit as well as it possibly can between the guidelines
of your pages. The crop button will appear under “Tools”
of the formatting palette when you click on the photo you
are working with.
