What's your Spark?
Sparks are passions and skills that we feel deeply and help us grow. Sparks come from inside a person, rather than being forced from the outside. A Spark is more than just a passing interest or talent. Sparks bring us energy and joy. They can grow into a life purpose, and allow a person to make a contribution to the world. Examples of Sparks are what make you light up inside!

Sample Spark Projects
Checking Your Work
1. Write 1 good,strong paragraph for each slide. Imagine the voice of the teacher who taught you how to write a good paragraph. What would she be telling you? You should end up with 1 cover and 5 spark slides for 6 total slides to start.
2. After writing a strong paragraph, insert 1 picture for each slide (for now) to match your paragraph.
3. Read your paragraph out loud; you will find more errors to correct this way.
4. Check spelling; red line, right click, correct.
5. Capitalize first letter of each sentence, titles and anywhere else capitalization is needed.
6. Tab indent beginning of paragraph.
7. Look for other correct punctuation such as 1 space after a period of a sentence, before the next sentence.
8. Find a partner to double check your work. Partner points out errors you missed; YOU make the correction.
9. Add a 2nd picture to each slide and 2 to 4 on your cover.
10. Add more spark slides.
11. Are we ever really "done"? No, whether it is getting better at sports, your slide shows or anything else, life is about making your best effort, continuously learning, improving, and having fun while you do it.
