Last semester I created a social studies unit on Ancient Rome and Greece for third graders. For this assignment I decided to create a slide on the classical orders (columns) I could use in a PowerPoint to discuss Ancient Greece. I choose to use real images as opposed to pictures because if you go to Greece you won't be looking at pictures, you'll be looking at real buildings and the style of architecture that was used. I didn't use a lot of text since it is meant to go along with a presentation but even still people can understand the difference between the orders. And obviously the blue and white scheme is to correspond with Greece's colors. On the left I put the order of the presentation and italicized and put in bold the section this slide would be in.
Here are the link to the images I used:

Courtney,
ReplyDeleteI like this slide. It is easy to read and visually appealing. I would either lighten the background on the left or change the word color to white. Also, adding some space between the topics will separate them and make them easier to read.
