Powerpoint is a fairly easy program to use, and it can help to organize a presentation. The best place to begin for this assignment is to look at any specifics provided by your teacher. Are you to examine characters? Detail the plot? Discuss themes? Each of these can be organized into separate slides. For instance, each character or each theme would get its own slide. Write an outline first, then simply dedicate a slide to each bullet point of the outline.
If the powerpoint is going to be used as accompaniment to a presentation, remember that not all your information needs to be on each slide. Rather, the slides should give bullet points or important phrases which you can use to remind yourself what you want to talk about.
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian is a great book to translate into a powerpoint because Sherman Alexie already uses graphic elements in his book. You probably shouldn't use Alexie's drawings in your presentation, but you could draw some of your own. Also consider using comic book elements such as captions and thought bubbles. By having fun with the visual elements, you could turn this into a really interesting assignment.
