Warmup: Presentation Expectations
Your team will present your finished game and a PowerPoint/Canva/Prezi to the class on Friday, May 1st. Before you start building, read through the full expectations below so you know what you’re working toward.
OPTIONAL: Download the Presentation Template
Presentation Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|

| Visuals | Every slide must include at least one image, drawing, or photo |
| Demo | Open your Scratch project live — it must be playable |
| Scratch link | Your project must be shared publicly on Scratch before class |
Presentation Don’ts
- Do not read your slides word-for-word — talk to the audience, not the screen
- Do not present a broken or unstarted game — have something playable, even if simple
- Do not use clip art, random internet images, or characters from other games
- Do not go over 5 minutes — practice with a timer

Work Session
Today you will split your team’s energy between two tasks. Decide together who works on what.
Task 1: Start the Prototype in Scratch
One or more team members should open Scratch and begin building the game:
- Create a new Scratch project and name it:
[Studio Name] — [Game Title] - Share the project so all team members can access it
- Start with the most important mechanic — what does the player actually do?
- If it’s a platformer: get the character moving and jumping first
- If it’s a puzzle: build one solvable level
- If it’s a chase or collection game: get the main character and one object working
- Don’t worry about polish yet — get the core mechanic working first
Task 2: Start the Presentation in PowerPoint
One or more team members should open the presentation template and begin filling it in:
- Download the Presentation Template from this page
- Open it in PowerPoint Online (go to Office 365 → PowerPoint)
- Share it with all group members and Mr. Willingham
- Start with Slides 1–5 — replace all placeholder text with your team’s content
- For Slide 6 (Concept Art), take a photo of your box art and insert it
