Student PowerPoints • Students will generally make one of two types of presentations. • Oral Presentation – PowerPoint supports the presentation given to audience/class • Stand Alone Presentation – PowerPoint is the entire presentation • Corollary – Individual slides may be created for the purpose of connecting them into a large poster
Oral Presentation • Good oral PowerPoints presentations have: • Limited text – important points only • Thought provoking and relevant images • Careful use of animations (not this one) and transitions • Logic flow/organization • Good use of backgrounds/themes/font color and size/style (this font is 24 point) • Appropriate layout choices • Good grammar and spelling • Citations
Stand Alone Presentation • Good Stand Alone presentations have: • More text or narrations • Slide transitions but few, if any, custom animations unless they are timed • Thought provoking and relevant images • Logical flow/organization • Good use of backgrounds/themes/font color and size/style (this font is 24 point) • Appropriate layout choices • Good grammar and spelling • Citations
Poster Slides Individual slides are created with images and text and printed in color. The printed slides are posted together to make a large poster.
PowerPoint What makes a good PowerPoint • Consider the audience • Eliminate distractions • Select powerful images • Distill words • Honor Criteria Source: FNO.ORG
PowerPoint • Rubrics Hundreds of rubrics are available online. Just put “powerpoint rubric” into a search engine. Student PowerPoint presentations should be assessed by their peers You may want to give them a simpler rubric to score their peers.
Collaborative Individual PowerPoint
