2. Verb Mood Project Make a 9-slide themed power point demonstrating your knowledge of verb moods. (Slide #1 should be a title slide.) The theme should be something you are interested in: cows, football, shopping, etc.

3. Each type of mood (Slides #2-6) should be explained in your own words along with two original examples. Your examples should fit the theme of your presentation. If your theme is cows, your sentences should be about cows.

4. One slide (#7) should be devoted to explaining a shift in mood with two labeled examples (The first is the mood shift mistake and the second is the correct sentence.) The last two slides (# 8-9) should contain a short quiz for the audience and an answer key. (3-4 questions)
