Google Slide Scavenger Huntyour Mission Is To Complete The Scavenger H

Google Slide Scavenger Hunt Your mission is to complete the scavenger hunt items in BLUE. There is one challenge on each slide. #1 Change the background of this slide to a beach scene. #2 Change the theme of this presentation and add orange text to this slide explaining your choice. I like this theme because orange is my favorite color #3 Create a Venn Diagram below and compare and contrast the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Use the “Explore” Tool to find your information. Higher sea levels, bluer Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and both are parts of a single global ocean. #4 Make this slide black and insert a picture of a location anywhere in the world that’s on your travel bucket list. #5 Use the “Big Number” layout to tell me what percentage of your time this summer was spent with friends. 60% was spent with friends and the rest was spent with my family. #6 Use “scribble” to draw a picture of your favorite food item on this slide. #7 Describe your favorite summer experience in Quattrocento font and build a transition into this slide. My favorite part about summer was riding my dirt bike and doing wheelies. #8 Use this slide to create a collage of tilted and overlapping images of your favorite things. #9 Find your favorite music video on YouTube and insert that video into this slide. #10 Make a bulleted list of your top 5 favorite movies and animate your list so they appear one click at a time in presentation mode. #11 Use Word Art to articulate one goal you have for yourself this year. #12 Insert a picture of yourself, add a thought bubble, and ask a question you have about this class. *Bonus: Create a bar graph where the Y axis lists your main after-school activities and/or time commitments (e.g., soccer practice, babysitting sister) and the X axis shows the number of minutes a day you do each activity. Additionally, there is a spreadsheet included with stock prices and analysis data, which appears unrelated to the main scavenger hunt tasks but may be part of a related project or extra credit.

Paper For Above instruction

The Google Slides scavenger hunt presents an engaging and interactive approach to enhance students' familiarity with the platform’s features and their ability to integrate multimedia elements into their presentations. This activity combines creative tasks with informational research, fostering both technical skills and content knowledge, which are crucial for developing digital literacy in today's technologically driven educational environment.

The first task, changing the background to a beach scene, introduces students to slide formatting options, encouraging exploration of design tools. Altering the theme and adding personalized text develops an understanding of slide master layouts and theme customization, which are fundamental for creating visually cohesive presentations. The addition of an explanation in orange text showcases the ability to manipulate text properties, such as color and font, fostering familiarity with design aesthetics.

Creating a Venn Diagram to compare the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans offers a practical exercise in using Google Slides' drawing and diagram tools, enhancing students’ understanding of geographic and environmental differences. Utilizing the Explore tool for research promotes independent information gathering and critical thinking. These comparative skills are essential for developing a global perspective and scientific awareness.

The task of inserting a black background and adding an image from a travel bucket list encourages students to engage in digital image editing and layout design. Using the Big Number layout to display the percentage of time spent with friends develops data visualization skills, helping students interpret and communicate personal data effectively.

Using the scribble tool to illustrate a favorite food, and describing summer experiences with specific fonts and transition effects, integrates artistic expression with technical proficiency in text formatting and slide transitions, which are vital for engaging presentations.

Creating a collage from overlapping images strengthens students' skills in image editing and layout arrangement, while embedding a YouTube video enhances their ability to integrate multimedia content seamlessly. Animating a list of favorite movies promotes understanding of animation and interaction techniques, crucial for dynamic presentation design.

The use of Word Art for goal setting demonstrates text manipulation skills, allowing students to emphasize personal aspirations creatively. Inserting a picture of oneself with a thought bubble to pose a class-related question encourages reflection and visual communication skills.

The optional bonus activity involving a bar graph extends learning into data representation and chart creation, crucial skills in data literacy and analysis.

Overall, this scavenger hunt activity is a multifaceted exercise that promotes technical skills in Google Slides, creative expression, data visualization, and independent research. By engaging students in a variety of tasks that require critical thinking and aesthetic judgment, it prepares them to effectively utilize digital tools for academic and personal projects, fostering a comprehensive digital literacy skill set necessary for success in modern education.
