1- Grade Prezis - Get a fellow student to watch and grade your prezi.  You can also grade others.  Make sure and be fair.  If anyone gets a 5 on design, I will also watch because it must be outstanding to warrant that grade.

2- Start a prezi about yourself.  If you have access to pics of you and your family, insert them.  You may email pics from your phone (just tell me when you are doing that so I know.) 
If you do not have pictures, start figuring out the information that you want to use and designing your prezi.  You may bring (zip drive) or email those pics to yourself from home or from your phone to insert on Thursday. 

Guidelines for your "Friends and Family" project
1 - at least 10 pics
2 - text that fully describes the person(s) in each pic and their relationship to you
3 - Different fonts, colors, etc. that make your prezi unique.
4 - A path that is fun to watch and clever.
