  20. Step 3 Revize Re Read the presentation and revize if needed – (KISS) Don’t over due the content you will want to talk to your audience and not just read the presentation or bore them.

  21. Team Effort Project 3 people to a team 3 minutes to design a paper plane that will go the farthest distance..

  22. Choose the presentation theme and design before you start. Keep it clean, simple and easy to read.

  23. Two ways to get the final topic • into Power Point • In Word under File, select Send to • Microsoft Power Point. This may take • more time and work to adjust content. • 2. Open Power Point and cut and paste from • Word, slide by slide • Do it what ever way you feel comfortable

  24. Choose your slide look and color scheme first (No Coney Island) Cut and Paste into Power Point Edit to fit as you go. Then add timing if needed Limit Special effects. The content should be remembered Not the “Slick” presentation.

  25. Voila – a complete presentation (Or maybe 3)
