I am not sure why we can't use pictures. I think she is trying to stretch our minds and make us use words and PowerPoint as the tool to help us remember our words, you know use PowerPoint the way you would use note cards. It is very difficult for me. This is my first year back at school in probably 25 years and I am not that good with words unless it is on a topic that I love so when we were told it was an open presentation the only thing I could think of doing it on was quilting. Then she said we could not use photographs and my heart sunk. But I think I would have as hard of a time writing this if it were on a different subject.
Thank you for your ideas. I do appreciate them.
