Draft Presentation Outline -
The purpose of this assignment is to begin thinking about how the key concepts and ideas of your sub-topic will be organized for the team's presentation. Although you do not have to actually produce slides for this assignment, it probably is easier if you do that.
If you decide not to produce a draft set of slides, the information you plan on presenting should be organized in a table such as shown below.
Remember, each person has between 7 and 9 minutes for their presentation. That excludes the time for the introduction and conclusion.
In addition to the normal outline developed, you might find it helpful to list the slides to be developed in a table as shown below. That can easily be done using the "Insert table" command in MSWord.
Title slide - all required information
Something related to topic
Introduction - key questions
Historical Period - Joe Schwartz
Old engine and car
Primary forms of transportation during period
Person walking & horse/buggy
Draft PP Slides -
This consists of the team's first attempt to develop the actual PP slides to be used for the presentation. As many of the graphics should be included as possible along with the appropriate text. Key words and NO SENTENCES! It is likely the presentation will be revised after the slides are reviewed with Dr. Edelbach.
Final Presentation Outline -
This should be the actual slides for your team's presentation. It should be printed out 6 slides to a page in PURE BLACK AND WHITE. After approval, each team member should bring a copy of the complete presentation slides to the class. The actual presentation is contained in the appendix of your team's report.
Final Presentation -
Each person MUST run through their presentation before making it to the class.
Each team's final PP presentation MUST be approved by Dr. Edelbach at least ONE WEEK PRIOR to the date the presentation is scheduled.
If that is not done, it may not be given.
Each team MUST bring a copy of their complete presentation to class on a jump drive or CD as back-up.
Each team MUST bring a PRINT OUT of their slides to their presentation printed 6 slides to a page.
Slide Design -
The most important factors to consider when designing your slides are:Audio-Visual Hardware -Readability - Can the last row of the audience read the type? PP type sizes should be at least 36 points. Backgrounds should be simple and either light or dark enough so that the type shows up clearly
Use charts and graphs were appropriate rather than just numbers when giving your report..Neatness - Easy to read and follow. Use different point sizes of types for emphasis
Attractiveness - Colors and graphics can be effective
Sounds and Motion - Generally sound effects and fancy transitions between slides are to be avoided.
They normally don't add to the presentation. DO NOT use transitions between slides. Just have them "appear."
Check with Dr. Edelbach if you are considering incorporating a video clip.When using MS Powerpoint, it is especially important to make certain that the version you are using is compatible with my computer.
All presentations MUST be approved by Dr. Edelbach prior to being presented.
Your presentation MUST be loaded into the SET computer the class period PRIOR to the day of your presentation unless special arrangements are made with Dr. Edelbach.
