ALL members of the group will create the cover slide and conclusion slide together. The cover slide must include the title of the presentation, the names of each group member, the date, and a picture that relates to your presentation. For the conclusion slide, you must select your favorite poem, or line from a poem, and include the author's name. A picture must be included on the conclusion slide to represent the poem.
