Directions for Creating a Joke Fact Flipper
Goal: Create a Fact Flipper, a PowerPoint presentation with six question slides and six answer slides, printed in handouts six per page. The first six slides on page one are the question slides; that page is then glued to page two which contains six answer slides. The end product will be a page that enables students to read questions and lift the flaps to find the answers.
Directions:
- You will select 6 jokes from the Ducksters website;
there are many categories at this site and you may choose jokes from
many different categories or from one in particular to create a themed
Fact Flipper. When you find jokes that you like, copy and paste
them onto a word processing document so that you can use them later.

- Begin a blank PowerPoint presentation
- For each slide, you will choose the 'Title Only' slide
layout (*Note - when using this type of slide, you will have to click
on the striped text box border - NOT the handlebars - and drag your
text box down to the middle of the slide.)
- Set up the information on your 12 slides as follows:
Slide 1 = Joke prompt
Slide 2 = Joke prompt
Slide 3 = Joke prompt
Slide 4 = Joke prompt
Slide 5 = Joke prompt
Slide 6 = Joke prompt

- Add graphics - on slides 7-12 add graphics to compliment your joke topics - Click on the Insert Tab: Clip Art and search
- We will print this PowerPoint as Handouts - Six Slides per page

- Glue page one on top
of page two so that you can read the joke prompt, lift the flap, and
get the answer!
