Using your eBook PowerPoint from lesson 3 use the knowledge from this lesson to make your PowerPoint more interactive by adding 3 questions to the eBook using the animation function. Also, make 5 of the images slightly different whether it be a relfection, drop shadow, highlight etc. This adds to the professional feel of the eBook.
