  10. Tip 1 • Slide 1: Title and your animal • Slide 2: Show a picture of your animal and label it with its name • Slide 3: Insert 4 facts about this animal • Give them a limit of slides to include in the presentation • Designate what each slide will cover

  11. Tip 2 • If each student is creating their own presentation, introduce slide design, transitions, and animations after they’ve entered their content. • If the presentation is a class project, you decide upon the transitions and slide design prior to children creating the slides

  12. Tip 3 • Give them limits to the amount of time they have to select transitions or decide on slide designs. • If using animations, limit the times that animations can be used.
