Assignment
Find examples of the items listed below. You must show the item on a photo of a home. Do not just
“Google” a dormer and show only a dormer. You should point to a dormer that is on a photo of an
entire house (similar to my Architectural Styles and Features Power Point presentation). Copy and
paste the images you find into a Microsoft Power Point document and use an arrow to point to or
label each style or feature. You should also copy and paste the website address (if you did not take
the photo yourself) and place it under the image.
To label your images in Power Point, click on “Insert”, and then click on “Shapes”. Select the . To
add text, go to “Insert” and then click on “Text Box”. Click on the area where you want to add text
and type in the box. You can change the color of the text or arrows by highlighting the item and
clicking on “Format” at the top toolbar.
You may find the items on homes in existence and photograph them or search for images online.
One picture or house can show more than one item.
