What is Prezi?
Prezi is a tool that is primarily used to help move presentations away from the boring old powerpoints. Prezis are the new and exciting way to present information and they have a lot of different formatting options. I attached a website presentation of a prezi, that could help newcomers have a better understanding of what is a prezi.

This is a Prezi that I created to help teach Figurative Language:

**How can teachers use this in the classroom?**
1. Teachers can develop a Unit Review using a prezi and students could access this from any computer that has internet access, which could make studying for a test easy. 2. It can also be a good way to introduce vocabulary. A teacher could type in the word, definition and add an image too. 3. Students can also use these for presentations and can even create timelines, Venn diagrams, interesting biographies and other imaginative presentations.

==== **Sample Lesson:** In the 8th grade we work on independent reading and at the end of each quarter the students are required to present a summary of the book to the class. First, they must tell the title and the author of the book. Next, they must tell us about the characters in the book. Then they must tell us a summary of their book. Also, they must give us the theme of the book. Finally, the students must give their opinion of the book and if they would recommend it to his or her peers. Using a prezi is just a fun way to allow the students to transfer their information to their classmates. ====
