    Reinforce Project: Who’s Who – Making a Trading Card


    Objectives
    In this project, you will use skills covered in the PowerPoint module, as well as some new skills. They
    include the following:
    • Create a presentation from a blank template
    • Use a theme and variant
    • Update the slide size
    • Insert slides, text boxes, and images • Format text and paragraphs, and
    • Add a shape and WordArt.

    Introduction
    Trading cards! You’ve probably seen them before because they’ve been around for decades. Trading cards
    have their origins in the late 1800s as advertising for businesses, mainly in the tobacco industry. In the
    early and mid-1900s, the most popular trading cards were baseball cards. Today, trading cards are
    associated with other sports like hockey and basketball, and non-sports such as gaming and comic books.

    One of the most valuable trading cards is the Honus Wagner T206 tobacco card. It features Honus Wagner,
    a hall-of-fame player and coach for the early Pittsburgh Pirates. Wagner is considered by baseball
    historians to be one of the true greats in the sport.

    The card was issued between 1909 and 1911 by the American Tobacco Company. A dispute between
    Wagner and the American Tobacco Company resulted in a small print run of the trade card. Currently,
    there are fewer than 60 authenticated cards in existence.

    A Honus Wagner T206 card is one of the most valuable trading cards in the world because of Wagner’s
    status with baseball enthusiasts and the card’s rarity. In 2013, a Honus Wagner T206 card sold for just
    over $3 million at auction.

    What You’ll Be Doing


    In this this project, you are going create a trading card for a famous person of your choice (other than Sir
    Richard Branson). The trading card needs to be the proper size: 3 ½ inches high by 2 ½ inches wide.
    You’ll need to create a front and back for the trading card.

    Initial Steps
    1. Select a famous person (someone school appropriate and someone other than Sir Richard Branson).
    2. Research interesting points and facts about the person.
    a. For the front of the card, research general facts about the person, such as their birth date and
    birth place, education, and main accomplishments.
    b. For the back of the card, research more interesting or fun facts about the person, such as:
    i. Have they won any awards?
    ii. Are they married?
    iii. Do they have any children?
    iv. Do they have any inspirational or famous sayings?
    3. Record the sites where you found your information and include this information in the notes
    section of your first slide.
