For this EDU 290H assignment, I designed a PowerPoint presentation on Robert Frost. I covers his biography and a sample of his work. The information for my presentation was found in the Park Library on the fourth floor. It is a textbook named Traditions in Literature. I also found photographs online. The references for the photos are next to the images on the slides, while the citations for the textbooks are found at the end of the presentation. Before I made the PowerPoint, I developed a planning document, which includes the type of information I was going to insert into the presentation. When finished, I uploaded the PowerPoint presentation to slideshare.net, and via slideshare, I embedded the PowerPoint presentation onto my Wikispace Page.
