1. PRESENTATION TASK
Classroom Context: This performance assessment focuses on a high school biology teacher, Mr. Hguyen, who is preparing a unit on the life cycle of a butterfly - metamorphosis.
Background: As part of the study on metamorphosis, Mr.. Hguyen would like to present to his students a brief slide show presentation outlining the four stages of butterfly life. He would like the presentation to consist of one introductory slide that contains the egg stage and one slide on each of the other three stages, and he would like to have each slide in the presentation advance manually.
Mr. Hguyen has provided a link to the graphics for the four slides that can be downloaded by clicking on the links below.
Available Files:
butterfly1.jpg (graphic image for slide #1)
butterfly2.jpg (graphic image for slide #2)
branches3.jpg (graphic image for slide #3)
branches4.jpg (graphic image for slide #4)

2. The Task: Mr. Hguyen has asked the Master Technology Teacher for assistance in creating the presentation.
Using your knowledge of presentation software, create a model slide show presentation to Mr. Hguyen’s specifications. In creating this presentation, you should
create four slides using the five files provided by Mr. Hguyen, with each slide containing a title and the appropriate graphic and the provided text displayed as a bulleted list;
format the slides appropriately to communicate to the intended audience (you may resize and manipulate text and graphics as necessary); and
animate the entry of the text into slides 1 and 3, and animate the entry of the graphics into slides 2 and 4 (the animations should occur automatically and not require a mouse or keyboard click).
Please complete the task on slides 4-7; save the file and upload it into the wiki on the appropriate page.

(Slide # 3) Pupa - the transition stage
Transformation in pupa stage is miraculous What emerges in no way resembles the caterpillar Complete disassembly of the cells and reassembling of cells into new form The butterfly emerges from this stage
(Slide # 4) Adult Butterfly – the reproductive stage
Upon emerging, the swollen body pumps fluid into tiny shrived up wings Within a few hours, wings are full sized, dried, and become more rigid Butterflies are ready to take flight The job of the adult is to mate and lay eggs Most live only one or two weeks

(Slide # 1) Metamorphis – Life Cycle of Butterflies
Eggs are first stage They are tiny, sometimes microscopic Laid on the underside of host plant leaves Hatching predetermined by time eggs are laid
(Slide # 2) Caterpillars – the feeding stage
Minute, some virtually invisible to naked eye Coloration of caterpillar is quite diverse Job of caterpillar is to eat, eat, eat Caterpillars must shed skin several times, each shedding called an instar Can multiply in size more than a thousand fold When final instar occurs, pupa emerges

4. Life Cycle of Butterflies
Metamorphosis
Life Cycle of Butterflies
Eggs are first stage
They are tiny, sometimes
microscopic
Laid on the underside of host
plant leaves
Hatching predetermined by
time eggs are laid

5. Caterpillars The Feeding Stage
Minute, some virtually invisible to
naked eye
Coloration of caterpillar is
quite diverse
Job of caterpillar is to eat, eat,
eat
Caterpillars must shed skin
several times, each shedding
called an instar
Can multiply in size more than a
thousand fold
When final instar occurs, pupa
emerges

6. Pupa The Transition Stage
Transformation in pupa
stage is miraculous
What emerges in no way
resembles the caterpillar
Complete disassembly of
the cells and reassembling
of cells into new form
The butterfly emerges from
this stage

7. The Reproductive Stage
Adult Butterfly
The Reproductive Stage
Upon emerging, the swollen body
pumps fluid into tiny shrived up
wings
Within a few hours, wings are full
sized, dried, and become more rigid
Butterflies are ready to take flight
The job of the adult is to mate and
lay eggs
Most live only one or two weeks
