Slide 3 you get to be creative as you tell me about your favorite place to travel or list different places where your hobbies can be done: // 1. Choose a different Slide Layout depending upon what you want to include on this slide (text, clipart, chart, pictures, table etc.) Include at least two different items. // // 2. Add an auto shape (found at bottom of the screen) and change the color of the shape. //

Click on the 4th file menu, Animations and choose custom animations. Play around with the entrance, the emphasis and the exits. NEED help? Please ask.

// On Slide 3 do a variety of custom animations. Instead of having to click on the mouse change the setting(on right hand side click on the arrow) to start after previous. //

Again under the menu bar, Animations, create transitions for each of your slide. Remember that a transition is a fun way to add animation when clicking from one slide to the next.
