Within the PowerPoint above, you will find instructions for each slide in your presentation. Please be creative in making your own presentation by adding pictures and an appropriate background. You can add additional slides and images to your presentation, but you must at least have the information in the instructions for full credit.
Since this is an oral presentation, you will need to use a voice over program that will allow for your voice to be heard. You may choose the program yourself, but one my favorites is screencast-o-matic. For this you will need a computer camera and the ability to upload your presentation to You Tube.
This presentation is worth 50 points. NOTE: You will be expected to conduct your research with only credible nutrition resources. Your e-text should be one of your resources.
