5.  On a piece of poster paper, attach those pictures, or images. Try to use a colored piece of poster paper if possible. Arrange them in any manner you like (a collage, cut-outs, etc.). Make your presentation eye-catching and appealing; something that you would be proud to present to your classmates, parents, etc.
