Finishing the Powerpoint project - week of March 18-22

Presentations are scheduled for the week beginning March 25. All students must be ready to present on the first day of class for that week.

During the week after March Break (March 18-22), you must complete the following:

1. Complete your own Powerpoint file.
   
   
2. Email your file to your partner. NOTE: Each student must have a full copy of the entire presentation.
   
   
3. Combine the two files into a single presentation. This can be done in two ways: (a) Open both in Slide Sorter View, then Copy/Paste slides, or (2) Open one file, then use the Insert menu, Slides from files.
   
   
4. Decide in consultation with your partner on a Design for the presentation.
   
   
5. Work with your partner to make whatever adjustments are required to make your presentation look as good as you can (in the time available to you).
   
   
6. Consult with your partner to agree on how the parts of your ORAL presentation will be divided up.
   
   
7. Work on your own ORAL part of the presentation. This may require a Notes Page with facts, statistics, etc. Note that you must do more than read your slides to us; you must talk to us about what we see on your slide, give us more information. Also, notes are not to be written out in full sentences which you then read aloud; notes are reminders giving you a basis for talking to your listeners.
   
   Your handout gives you a number of suggestions for making the most effective slides and for preparing the most effective kind of talk.
   

Sample Poiwerpoint Project

The images below show you a very basic example of a slide show so that you have an idea of how to set up your presentation.

TITLE SLIDE -- title + names of presenters


AGENDA SLIDE - list of topics to be covered in the presentation


PRODUCT SLIDE - this shows what a Product slide might look like

Remember, you will be giving an oral presentation, in other words, one where you will be talking to your audience. The slides should not try to include all your information. The slides highlight the most important information and hold the attention of your audience, WHILE YOU TALK TO THEM.
Often you need a Notes Page to help you remember some of the facts you will talk about but which are not on the slide.
