Customizing the Quiz Show Template
The Blank Quiz Show Review is ready for you to customize. This presentation is designed to be a review for a unit. You make up the categories, Clues and answers, then show the review to your class using a scan converter or projector. All the hyperlinks connecting the points on slide two to the correct Clues have already been created. Once you have created one review, you can give the blank PowerPoint show and these directions to students and assign them to create the next review. Students, in groups of five, can make up 5 Clues each: one for each category, or each in charge of a category of their own.
1. Double-click on the quiz show template file “Blank Quiz Show Review” to open it.
2. Click on File and Save As to give the quiz show template a new file name. This way you can save the blank copy to use again.
3. Change the view to Slide Sorter from the View Menu.
4. From the Edit menu, choose Replace. In the first line of the box that appears, type Classes of Horses, then tab to the second line. Type in your first category name. Click on the Replace All button. You should get a message that 11 changes were made, and you should be able to see the changes in the slides.
5. Repeat this process to change all your general “topics” to your specific topic names. When you are finished, switch back to Slide View from the View Menu.
6. Go to Slide 3 by clicking on the double down-arrow at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar.
7. Click after the colon in the text box reading "Clue:" to type in your first Clue.
8. Go to Slide 4. Click after the colon in the text box reading "Answer:" to type in the answer to your first Clue.
9. Repeat with all slides in the quiz show presentation. Don't forget to save your work every few minutes by clicking on the third icon on the top toolbar (looks like a floppy disk).
10. Showing the presentation: Open the new document in PowerPoint. From the View menu, choose Slide Show. To link to the Clues from slide 2, move the mouse over a number so that a hand appears. Click on the number. You must do the same to go back to the game board on each answer slide. DO NOT click on the slide just ANYWHERE. That will take you to the next slide instead of back to the game board. Make sure ONLY to click when you see the hand indicating a hyperlink.
