ve to use one of these topics. If you want to come up with your own, feel free to do so. If you're not sure about it, ask me.
The presentation should be about 6 minutes long. In other words, it should take about 6 minutes to view. This should not count the time it takes to view videos. There should be 6 minutes of material that you produce.
Depending upon how much text is on each slide, you should probably have at least 15-20 slides. However, more slides with less text per slide is the preferred default. If you have less than 15, it is probably too short.
Name your PowerPoint file and the folder that you put it in Powerpoint_yourname Do not name your project by the title of your subject.
(Read this part carefully - this is the biggest part of your grade!)
Put your name and the title of your presentation on the first slide. State the intent of your presentation (the conclusion you will support, the analysis you will undertake, the point to which your material will be directed).
A good rule to follow: 1) tell me what you're going to say, 2) say it, 3) tell me what you said. This is a simple matter of voicing your intent so that I know what to look for as you go through your material to make your point. Then, at the end, you will restate your intent (which should be your conclusion or analysis).
Don't just present a bunch of "Trivial Pursuit"- type facts and information. Analyze your information and draw conclusions. At the end of your presentation, I should not be able to say: "And your point is . . . ?" A good place to begin is by asking a question that interests you and your conclusion should answer it.
Almost all topics should include audio music clips (see how to insert them below). If you think your topic is an exception, make sure you clear it with me first. Failure to include audio music clips in your presentation will lower your grade one letter. If you use videos, you should integrate them so that you do not have to leave the slide show to view them. Be sure to test that!
