Activity B. Travel Brochure Presentation
Your group will present the travel brochure using the PowerPoint to the class of no longer than 15 minutes. There is no specific number of slides and it must contain information mentioned in your travel brochure.
If you are still not familiar of making a PowerPoint presentation, just click the link below.

Activity C. Organ System Quiz
Once you have completed your travel brochure and PowerPoint, create a quiz of 5 questions (multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, short answer) to accompany the PowerPoint. All of the quizzes from each group will be combined to make a test for the whole class to be taken once all presentations have been given.
a. Only create questions from the types listed above. Do not make true or false questions.
b. You must provide the correct right answer for each question. (This means you must give me the answer and it must indeed be the right answer)
c. If you choose multiple choice questions, only one answer choice should be obviously wrong.
d. Use Microsoft Word for your quiz. The answer key should be in the same document at the bottom of the page.
Activity D. Travel Brochure PowerPresentation
In presenting your PowerPoint to the class, check the rubric for your guidance and be sure to practice. Remember that all members must present the PowerPoint in order to receive credit.
