STUDENTS! Check out the sample PowerPoint essay. This was done by a student at Alta Loma High School. What I loved about this essay was that this student found a story. The topic of the assignment was “The Vietnam War”. Most students submitted essays on the causes and effects or a review of major battles….not this student! He found a unique angle and did the research. The images really bring the story alive- so does the custom animation etc… So as you are looking through these sites, try to understand the basic issue, then look for a specific story that appeals to you.
