Power Point Presentations

Your research will be presented in a Power Point format. Here are a few guidelines for creating your Power Point:

Go to the START menu at the bottom left of the start-up screen.
Select Microsoft Office, then Microsoft Power Point.
Open Power Point, and begin a new project.
You must have a Title slide. (This will be the first one, of course.)
You will follow with four subject slides, as you have outlined in your storyboard. You must use the storyboard as a tool to plan what material - including facts, images, maybe even music, you will present on your Power Point slides.
Make sure that when you take notes from books and web sources that you're also making notes about where your info is coming from! Not only will this be mega-important for your Works Cited page, but also will help you in case you want to visit the sites or review the books again.
Be practical: don't over-do it. A great Power Point should not be complicated with lots of animation or fancy fluff-n-stuff. You can easily make it interesting without being overwhelming. Keep in mind that you want to capture your audience's attention and hold it -- with real info, not glam! P.S. Making the font larger will not make your teacher think that you have more to say. Be real. :^)
