After learning the basics of how to use PowerPoint, students will use the skills learned to create a PowerPoint presentation on a major US city. The students will need to use basic Powerpoint skills such as transitions, animations, word count per slide, title & conclusion slides, and more. 
Students will research a major US city to find basic city facts, three unique restaurants, three hotels (at varying price ranges), and three attractions that visitors to the city may wish to visit.
Each student should choose a different city to avoid duplicate presentations and to provide a unique experience for each student.
Students can then present their PowerPoints to the class.
