Informational Slides • MUST be readable to audience at all distances in room • MUST be checked for spelling and grammar • MUST be a simple font and background • MUST be points that you fill in with additional information • NO paragraphs on PPT (you will lose a billion points) • MUST have cited material within slides

  17. Bad! • This is pretty, but bad because it is way too distracting to audience

  18. Also- Bad! • A paragraph is a collection of related sentences dealing with a single topic. Learning to write good paragraphs will help you as a writer stay on track during your drafting and revision stages. Good paragraphing also greatly assists your readers in following a piece of writing. You can have fantastic ideas, but if those ideas aren't presented in an organized fashion, you will lose your readers (and fail to achieve your goals in writing). • The basic rule of thumb with paragraphing is to keep one idea to one paragraph. If you begin to transition into a new idea, it belongs in a new paragraph. There are some simple ways to tell if you are on the same topic or a new one. You can have one idea and several bits of supporting evidence within a single paragraph. You can also have several points in a single paragraph as long as they relate to the overall topic of the paragraph. If the single points start to get long, then perhaps elaborating on each of them and placing them in their own paragraphs is the route to go.

  19. The Issue • Prison Wars: Definition • Prison Wars: History - 1903 first war - formation of gangs (1920) - current wars • Media’s role in the issue

  20. Rehearsing • Practice, Practice, Practice • Once you're prepared, go through the presentation, Then read it again. Then again. And then once more. • Practice in front of a mirror. • Practice to your pets. • Grab a friend or family member and practice in front of a real human being. • Every time you go through your presentation, you're adding another layer of "I know this stuff."

  21. Mental Attitude • Visualize Yourself Being Fabulous! • Negative thinking will get you nowhere but down in the dumps. • If you believe that you'll be great, you will be. If you think you're going to fail, you probably will. It's as simple as that!

  22. Conclusion & Questions • Be sure to solidify all information you just presented • Recap and Reword • Take Questions from Ms. Marootian and class
