Tips on Making a Power point
· Break text into chunks or bullets so that it is easy for the reader to digest
· Do not overload the presentation with paragraph’s of text, in other words, DON’T COPY AND PASTE!!! I WILL KNOW IF YOU SIMPLY TOOK INFORMATION OFF THE INTERNET AND DID NOT PUT IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
· Let the presentation represent a natural progression of information (introduction on the first slides, more detailed content in the middle slides, and conclusion information at the end.)
HOW MANY POINTS IS THIS WORTH????
ANSWER: A lot! 100 to be exact!
50 pts for the power point (having all the information, not copying and pasting info off the internet, included graphics and pictures, overall appearance)
25 pts for completing the volcano reading study guides
25 pts for the presentation (was it 5min long, were you professional (no giggling, easy to hear and understand, did you know what you were talking about or did you simply just read the slides?)
