PowerPoint Project

Goal: Create a 15-20 slide presentation.

Topic: The presentation needs to be informative:
  1. Tell how to do something.
  2. Tell about a hobby you enjoy.
  3. Describe an event in history.
  4. Tell about your home country, state, or city.
  5. Tell a Biblical story.
  6. Be creative!
warning: topics are subject to rejection, so choose wisely! If you are concerned, ask early!

Requirements:
  1. Presentations should be stand-alone (you shouldn’t have to do any talking)
  2. Slides should work well together (use a template)
  3. You need to use transitions and animations.
  4. Transitions and animations should be smooth, and not detract from the presentation (don’t use the transitions that take 20 seconds to show the slide!)
  5. The user should be able to progress through the show in order, or jump to specific slides (use hyperlinks)
  6. The information you give needs to be accurate, be sure to list any references that you use. (Have a bibliography page with URLs of websites and names of books)

Grading:
Your presentation will be graded by your peers. We will spend a day or two displaying the presentations in the class. During that time, each of you will fill out an excel sheet critiquing each of the presentations. I will fill the sheet out as well.

Be sure to look at the second tutorial, "Tips" for some good guidelines about the display.

Here is the Grading sheet you will need to save it to your folder. Look at the comments to see what each category is asking for.

Due Date:
We will present our shows on October 13 and 14. You will need to be ready to go at the beginning of class on Wednesday as I will select the order at random. You will not be able to work on the presentation during class on Wednesday!
