hould provide the audience with a general sense of why this topic is of importance today. Building on your team's "Key Questions", prepare a 2" or 3" intro into your team's presentation with the key information on a few slides. The time for "intro" or "conclusion" does not count in the approximately 7" allocated for each team member.
Body - The body of the presentation will go into as much detail as possible covering the MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION related to the topic. It should convey to the audience that issues that your group felt were most important and relevant along with supporting statistical data.
Divide up this section into the appropriate sub-sections with slides showing either the "Past", "Present" and "Future" as well as the years covered and who was responsible for each section.
Conclusion - The conclusion should be a brief wrap-up of the report and why it is likely this topic will continue to be important in the future. A slide or two should be sufficient for this section.
Questions or Comments Slide - This slide should have "Questions or comments?" on it. Time for questions does not have to be built into the presentation.
General Considerations -
1. Make certain to have a slide identifying the time period which is going to be covered and the name of the person presenting that section before each major portion of the presentation.
PP slides should contain only the KEY words. Eliminate unnecessary words such as "the", "a", etc from your slides. For most slides, you SHOULD NOT have complete sentences on the slides.
. Include drawings and photos to add interest to your slides. Do this whenever some object or person is mentioned.in mind that each student has approximately 7 to 9 minutes for their presentation. The total time for each person's slides should fall into that range. This excludes the introduction and conclusion portions of the presentation.
4. Dates MUST be included on your slides when
ever an event or discovery is mentioned.
6. All slides must numbered. This can be done automatically in PP.
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.
