Well, here's an idea for you..

For a class in college, I had to give a 5 minute speech about myself, and we were required to use PowerPoint. I found using PowerPoint to speak about something that I know so much about (ME!) to be kind of weird.. so I got creative.

Going to Penn State Behrend meant that you were mainly in classes with people from.. Pennsylvania. Therefore, I decided my presentation would focus on where I'm from - New England. And I used the PowerPoint as "scenery." In a way, I was acting out a real, live movie. At one point I was in the stands at a Patriots game.. Then I was graduating from high school, accepting my diploma and taking pictures with friends.. Then I was riding a roller coaster at Canobie Lake Park.. And I camped out by Lake Winnipesaukee. I did all kinds of things and used pictures and videos as my backdrop while I talked and acted out different scenes. I threw in a few jokes, and also some New England words and accents. It actually turned out better than I originally thought it would
