This document provides instructions for creating an animated slide in PowerPoint to teach grammar points. It explains how to add text boxes and images to a slide, select items for custom animations like entrance and exit effects, and reorder the animations so certain items enter as others exit, creating a smooth transition to illustrate noun modifiers.
2. With PowerPoint you can have items on a slide
enter and exit. This is really useful for teaching
certain grammar points. Click to the next slide
for an example.
3. Noun Modifiers
A noun is sometimes used to describe
another noun. For example:
donut shop
book
coffee
Noun
Noun
Modifier
A noun modifier is never plural.
a rose s garden
The second noun is more general than the
first.
4. To make this kind of slide, first insert your
text boxes and images onto the slide.

5. Add the entrances and the exits.
Go to custom animation.
On the right, you will see the
Custom Animation Box.

animate.

7. Do this for all of the items.
If you want two items to
appear at the same time,

Click Start With Previous.

8. Notice the list of items in the
Custom Animation box.
The mouse means the effect starts
on the click of the mouse. The green
star means its an entrance.

reorder animations.

10. For this lesson, we need to
add some exits. When book
enters, coffee must exit and
when donut enters, book
must exit.
