  5. Context • 2nd World War (1939-1945) • The story takes place in many countries: Romania, Poland and Germany. • More than 6 million European Jews and millions of gypsies, homosexuals and anybody who was considered undesirable were a target for Hitler’s wrath. • The country implemented a set of laws to dehumanize German Jews and subject them to humiliation and prejudice.

  13. Please Note: • I willassign the dates of yourpresentations. These are extremely important and MUST BE RESPECTED. • You have to bepresent on the day of your group OP. I will not delay the presentations; we have no time, and you have known in advance. • If a team memberis absent, the team willneed to pick up their part. That personwillthenbecalled to do an oral presentationat the end of the semester (reprises).

  14. Evaluation • Voice / Diction (volume, errors, fillers, delivery) /20* • Time (minimum reached or penalty) * • Content (research, selection, sources identified) /25 • Organization (table of contents, orderchosen, summary) /25 • Power Point (format) /10 Total / 80 • * = individual grade

  15. Delivery Speaking • Talk at a natural, moderate rate of speech • Project your voice. • Speak clearly and distinctly. • Pause briefly to give your audience time to digest the information on each new slide. • Don’t read the slides aloud. Your audience can read them far faster than you can talk.

  16. Delivery Body Language • Keep your eyes on the audience • Use natural gestures. • Don’t turn your back to the audience. • Avoid looking at your notes. Only use them as reference points to keep you on track. Talk, don’t read.

  17. Format Presentation Design • Let the picture or graphics tell the story - minimize the use of text. • Don’t overload your slides with too much text or data. • Give your slides a title. • Prepare a Table of Contents slide. You can reuse the same slide at the end of the presentation by changing the title to Summary. • Keep “like” topics together.

  18. Format Text • Font size must be large enough to be easily read. Size 28 to 34 with a bold font is recommended. • It is distracting if you use too wide a variety of fonts. • Overuse of text is a common mistake. • Too much text makes the slide unreadable. You may just as well show a blank slide. Stick to a few key words. • If your audience is reading the slides they are not paying attention to you. If possible, make your point with graphics instead of text.

  19. Format Backgrounds • Backgrounds should never distract from the presentation. • Using the default white background is hard on the viewer’s eyes. You can easily add a design style or a color to the background. • Backgrounds that are light colored with dark text, or vice versa, look good. A dark background with white font reduces glare. • Consistent backgrounds add to a professional appearance.
