HyperStudio Presentation:

Congratulations! Now that you have written your religious narrative, you will be presenting it in HyperStudio. Click on HyperStudio for a tutorial on how to use this program.

The HyperStudio presentation of your narrative should have:

1) A title page card that includes the title of your story, the religion it promotes, your name, the date, and a representative illustration.

2) A minimum of 5 story cards. Divide your plot up into logical and interesting sections.

3) A moral card. Explain the fundamental beliefs or practices that are promoted in the moral of your story. This only needs to be two or three sentences.

4) One picture on each of these cards that corresponds with that particular section of the story. You may obtain your pictures from the Internet (free graphics), scan in your own illustrations/pictures, or create and import pictures from a software program such as CorelDRAW.

After you have completed your HyperStudio presentation, have other students in your class or school view it to gain a better understanding of this religion. Hopefully, upon completion of this project, you have gained a greater appreciation for the diversity of religious beliefs in the world today!
