Parts of Speech Books/Powerpoints

The end of the year is fast approaching and it is time for me to be working on some culminating activities and one I have chosen for this year is a review of the parts of speech.  I have done Parts of Speech books in the past and the requirement was simple.  Each student needed to decide on a theme and make their book center around that theme.  Each page in the book had a part of speech, its definition, a sentence with that particular part of speech highlighted that follows the theme and then a picture to go with their sentence.  It was a lot of fun and more importantly it took the kids quite a while to finish, which is always a good thing at the end of the year.  This year I decided that it IS 2011 so instead of making books, they are each making a Powerpoint.  Their requirements were the same except they had to have a title slide and then one slide for each part of speech.  I let them decide on the slide design, font, and clip art.
They started them a couple weeks ago and most of them finished during 3 computer lab sessions (30 minutes each).  I actually had kids that finished start presenting today and will finish up next week.  Perfect for the last week of school!  They should be up on our school's website when they are done.  I will direct you there when that happens. 
Below are some pictures of one of the presentations (obviously this one was a powerpoint about monkeys).
