This is what you do:

1. In groups of 4, find a word beginning with each letter of the alphabet. They must be from units 1, 2 and 3 of your textbook. If there are no words beginning with one letter, you can find a word which contains that letter.

2. Write a sentence or a definition for each word.

3. Go to Google Drive, Create presentation. Share the document with the members of your group so that everybody can type part of the words: Share, give it a title, Save. Change the status to Public, and add the email addresses of your partners. Done.

5. Type your sentences - 4 or 5 definitions on each slide. You can use different templates, add images... you are the designer!

There must be a blank for the word, with a _  for each letter.

6. Insert, Text box and put it on the blank. Type the answer, Insert, Animation, Fly in, On click and play. Do this for each word.
