Lesson Plan

• Insert and edit text objects such as headings, sub‑headings and bulleted lists on a slide.
• Add and modify visual objects including still images, video clips, animated GIFs, charts and tables.
• Apply formatting, grouping and playback settings to audio, video and other objects and preview the slide for a polished presentation.

• Computer with PowerPoint (or equivalent) installed
• Projector or interactive display
• Sample slide file for demonstration
• Image, video and audio files for practice
• Handout checklist of object‑insertion steps
• Whiteboard and markers

Begin with a quick poll: “What visual element makes a slide most memorable?” Connect responses to prior knowledge of slide layouts. Explain that today’s success criteria are to correctly insert, edit, and format at least three different object types on a slide.

1. Do‑Now (5’) – Students list the Insert‑tab options they recall; teacher checks understanding.
2. Mini‑lecture & demo (15’) – Show slide sorter view, inserting text, images, and charts; highlight formatting pane.
3. Guided practice (20’) – In pairs, students add a heading, a picture, and a chart to a template slide, then swap to review each other’s work.
4. Audio & video insertion (10’) – Demonstrate inserting an audio clip and a short video, setting playback options.
5. Shapes, lines, and call‑outs (10’) – Quick demo of drawing, formatting, and grouping shapes.
6. Check for understanding (5’) – Whole‑class “exit ticket” on Kahoot: identify the correct steps for resizing and grouping objects.

Recap the key steps for inserting and editing each object type and emphasize the importance of previewing slides in Slide Show mode. Students complete a short exit ticket describing how they would add an audio clip with automatic playback. For homework, they create a one‑minute slide that incorporates at least four different objects and bring it to the next lesson.
