__**MINI PROJECT #4: USING POWERPOINT, PART II**__

By now you should have done the skill lesson where we focused on how to use images to tell stories. For this assignment, we're going to practice re-telling a story using images and PowerPoint.

Read the brief summary of the story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson below. Once you have done so, create a PowerPoint where you will use images to summarize what you just read. Click the PowerPoint document below the summary labeled, "Sample2" to see what I am looking for.

__**Summary of "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson**__

On a warm day in late June (the 27th, to be exact), villagers gather in the square to participate in a lottery run by Mr. Summers, who officiates at all the big civic events. The children arrive first and begin collecting stones until their parents call them to order. Mrs. Hutchinson arrives late and chats briefly with her friend, Mrs. Delacroix.

Mr. Summers calls each head of the household (always a grown man) forward to a black wooden box, where each selects a slip of paper. Once the men have chosen, Mr. Summers allows everyone to open the paper and see who has been selected. It is Bill Hutchinson. His wife immediately starts protesting – so we get the sense that they're //not// about to win a couple million dollars.

There are five people total in the Hutchinson family. Mr. Summers places five slips of paper into the box and each member of the family draws. Tess (Mrs. Hutchinson) draws a slip of paper with a big black dot in the center. Not good. The villagers advance on her, and it becomes crystal clear what the prize for the lottery really is: a stoning. Tess protests in vain as the villagers attack her.
