DIRECTIONS: Using one of the two programs above you will create a “time line” of all the units we’ve covered so far this year. This includes Units 1-7. Even if you just started last week, this assignment was created so that anyone, regardless of length of time attending Agora, can complete it.

presentation consisting of 8 slides. Slide 1 will be your title slide. Slides 2-8 will contain 3 bullet points and a picture of a topic of your choosing from each Unit we’ve covered this year (units 1-7). I have created a demo for you.
