During their recent school trip, Samayra and Shirom 
got the chance to explore the historical places of Delhi, 
the capital of India. Few of their classmates were not 
able to join them.
Samayra: I wish all our friends were here with us. They 
not only missed the fun but also the knowledge about 
our rich heritage.
Shirom: It does not matter. Let us do something so that 
they don’t miss out on the learning.
Samayra: That would be nice. But how can we do it?
Shirom: Let us compile our experiences, highlighting 
the captured moments of the trip in a report.
Samayra: But this report will not give our friends the 
real picture of our experience and our interaction with 
the guide, etc.
Shirom: True. Then let's make a presentation.
Samayra: Shirom, what do you mean by a presentation?
Shirom: A presentation is used to present information 
using text, images, audio, video and animations. Do 
you know we can even add our narration to the slides ?
Samayra: Oh is it? This would be wonderful.
