My Bio Poem
media type="file" key="Bio Poem.mov" width="239" height="239" Fantastic use of colour for your text Chontelle, well done. Very effective with your background. Excellent sentences which show me a little bit more of yourself! You needed to build your lines in slower so that you had enough time to finish your voice overs. Your lines were finished well before you had finished speaking. This is something you will get better at the more we use keynote. An excellent first effort with Keynote! Miss Crone :)
