- have between 5 and 12 slides (no fewer than 5, no more than 12)
- have an image on each slide, and no more than 45 words on each slide
- be 5 minutes in length
- have good grammar, spelling, capitalization
Please use either Prezi, or create a Google slide in your drive (I prefer Prezi, because I believe it is easier and gives you more freedom to create) prezi.com
Tips for creating your presentation, and for practicing your presentation:
Creating
- keep the slides simple - just include the most important information
- make it interesting - think to yourself "If this were someone else's presentation, and I were watching it, would I think it was interesting?"
- have fun with it - don't be afraid to get creative, some of the best things happen if you freely create without worrying about what other people (including your teacher) will think. Make it your own and be adventurous with your choices
Presenting
- you know how to present well
- Speak loudly and clearly
- look at your audience (when practicing at home, pretend they are sitting in front of you)
- if you use note cards, make them very simple, and try to only use them as a backup if you forget something. Otherwise, keep them behind your back
- time yourself - make sure that your presentation is no less than 4.5 minutes and no more than 5.5 minutes
- Remember - it doesn't have to be exactly the same each time, you just have to know your basic information
Please have your presentation ready to go on Monday morning. If your presentation is incomplete, you will not receive full credit. This is a 50 point homework assignment!
