Agree that extracredit must be from the things they learn and should be in such a way that helps the students.and grading always should be handed in next class meeting

You can move these objects by hand during your presentation, or apply animations from the animations tab. You can also create your own animations by duplicating the slide, moving an object on the second slide, duplicating, moving an object on the third slide…

Lesson Plans

I find that having too much on the plan is better than too little. I have in the past came up short withe to much time left. You do learn over the years to plan differently. Experience is the key to good lesson planning!
