How?

b. Outline in black with some color
c. Cut out.
Example: My article: “JSYK: Score! Training Tips from Super Athletes” p2 Sept. 2013 Scholastic Choices
2. Decide and write what is the most important message / summary of your article.
My Article Summary:
Because we need at least one hour of moderate or vigorous exercise every day, super athletes like Evan Longoria, Swin Cash, and Amanda Beard suggest these tips to find time for exercise to “keep your game:: 1) Evan says do stretches while standing in the lunch line; 2) Swin suggests cross-training to work different muscles; and 3) Amanda encourages visualization of your finished workout to push you “off the couch!”
3. Now, place your cut-out on a prop in the room for a snapshot that will represent your summary / theme. Each team member should create a scene for an important part of your summary.
4. Write a catchy title that summarizes your summary!
My Title: Wherever You Are — Train!
5. On your computer, insert your image into a Keynote slide and add your title and summary. Arrange the text and image in a pleasing layout with correct spelling. Cite your source: Title of Magazine, Month, Year, Page.
6. Export the image from Keynote: Go to File –> Export –> Image —> Best Quality.
You will be asked to title it: choose one that fits your article and image.
