• First, re-read the section that describes what you should be doing. Take this project one step at a time. Read what you need to do and then do just that before you read the next thing.
• If you need a basic review on how to create a Powerpoint Presentation, you can view a video tutorial at: http://video.about.com/presentationsoft/Start-PowerPoint.htm NOTE: There may be a commercial before this video actually starts.
• Try using the Help feature built in to Powerpoint to see if you can figure out how to do what is asked.
• If you still need help, raise your hand and I'll come over to help.

SOME POWERPOINT HINTS

• Use a consistent color scheme - Make sure this is high contrast - dark backgrounds with light text or light background with dark text

• Use no more than two fonts per slide

• Use a font size on Titles of at least 36-40 points

• Use a font size on bulleted text of no less than 24 points

• Include graphics/pictures that relate to your theme

• Use bold, italicized or shadowed text or Word Art for emphasis

• Use animations and transitions where appropriate but do not overuse

• Use sounds sparingly if at all

• Use phrases not complete sentences - Remember the 6x6 rule:

  • No more than 6 bullets on a slide

  • No more than 6 words per bullet

• Remember that this presentation is meant to supplement what you are saying - put only major points on the slides. Think of the slide as your note card that you might use when giving a report in front of the class.
