I will begin student-teaching in January for 8th-grade social studies. I need to create a PowerPoint introducing myself to the students. I have created a brief outline for how this could be potentially laid out. I would like something attention-grabbing and visually appealing for the students. I have provided some details, but I withheld private info and will instead input photos where needed and edit/personalize them on my own. However, you can create the template so I can just drop the specific info or photos in.
