Using the Google Drawing app, create a flow chart to identify what your slide process will look like.  Name the drawing My Sketch followed by your initials.  Sketch out ideas for your presentation on one of the topics below, or make up your own.
    • Help start a community campaign to keep your city clean.
    • Encourage people to donate blood in the blood drive campaign next week.

    • Explain the advantages of adopting an animal from the local shelter.
    • Provide information about a new class that will be available in the fall.
  2. Create a new Google Slide presentation titled My Presentation followed by your initials.  The presentation should focus on the topic you chose above and follow the flow depicted in your flow chart.  It should have at least four slides to include a title slide and indicate where you would put images, a video, and animation.
