Slides Are Looking Good

Great work, everyone! I like what I have seen.
Now that your slides are done, the only thing left to do is practice,practice, practice.
I think the best use of our time is to practice in groups of three or four, using either the laptop assigned to you or (if this is unfeasible) your flash drive. You can make corrections to your slides, if necessary, but no major changes.

On Monday, we will watch a 26-minute video on Overcoming Stage Fright and practice some more.

PowerPoint Slides are due tomorrow

All students (periods 2, 4, and 5).
Your slides are your ticket in to class tomorrow. Failure to bring your slides will result in not being admitted to class. You will load your slides on to the individual computer that you will be using for your presentation next Thursday. To avoid last-minute panic, we are requiring that all slides be turned in on Thursday, Jan. 27. If you forget your slides, you will need to go home and get them, or have someone bring them to school.

Guidelines for Slide Show Presentations

These are guidelines. Use your own judgement.

Between seven and 15 slides
Easy on the text. Use bullets instead of paragraphs.
Choose a color/style that is pleasing to the eye. Keep it clean and simple.
Limit the use of "bells and whistles." These can be annoying.
Remember to use spell check. There is nothing worse than seeing a misspelled word on a big screen.
