  2. The text used here is Times New Roman to simulate a newspaper article.
  3. Graphic from Hemera. I’m not sure I like the pink highlights – and I thought you didn’t want us to use pink – but your color scheme made these pink, so I hesitate to change the color on the highlights. Please let us know how you want us to proceed in the future since all the PPTs for the advanced level are going to have that pink. Also, I could have made the title box smaller on this slide, but to keep it consistent with the form 2 slide (where it is not possible to make it smaller), I decided to have the same size for both title boxes.
  4. Graphic from Hemera
  5. Graphic from Hemera: I have done numerous searches to find a graphic to fit this slide. I have even considered a different sample sentence – still within the context of the newspaper article – but this is really the best I could do on Hemera and Animation Factory. I admit it’s not perfect, but I don’t know what to do unless you want to show an image of the Scream one more time here. Since I don’t know which Scream graphic you will end up choosing/using, I will leave this decision open.
