Presentation Resources

Resources for ELA.2

Create a visual aid that reinforces the information/argument presented within your essay.

Options:

• Physical Poster

• Digital Poster (infographic)

• Slideshow (see below)

• Video (narrated or otherwise)

• Other (be creative, but pitch it with your teacher first)

Requirements:

• Your visual aid can either complement or contrast with the underlying message of your essay.

• You must be able to explain the impact you hope to have on your audience, and how it might help increase the audience's understanding of your topic.

• You must request and use feedback from other people to polish your design.

• You must be able to explain your artistic/stylistic choices when asked question about your visual aid.

SLIDESHOW (Essay Alternative)

Use this template, or create a slideshow from scratch that presents a well-reasoned argument, supporting your premise and claims with evidence from your research and experiences. This slide show should:

• Contain at least 12 slides:

  • 1 title slide (with a subtitle that functions as a hook) 

  • 10 content slides (or more)

  • 1 Works Cited slide

• Pair images with text to help increase the audience's understanding of your topic

• Provide clear and specific examples from your research (either on-screen or within your speaker's notes) to support your perspective

Use these sample presentations to give you an idea of what your slideshow could look like.

💡 You will need to "Open speaker notes" to see how all parts of the presentation work together.
