Seniors will deliver a 7-10 minute presentation outlining their project, research findings, and community service involvement. Following the presentation, there will be a question and answer session. The audience will include teachers, school staff, and juniors. Students will have the opportunity to improve their skills in preparing and delivering formal presentations within a designated time frame. This assignment emphasizes presentation skills, persuasion, preparation, and handling questions effectively.
Keep it Simple. Use clean and minimalistic design to avoid overwhelming the audience.
Visuals are Key. Incorporate relevant images, diagrams, and charts to enhance understanding.
Consistent Formatting. Maintain uniformity in fonts, colors, and slide layouts for a polished look.
Limit Text. Avoid overcrowding slides with text; focus on key points to keep the audience engaged. Remember the Rule of Five.
Engage with Text. Use concise bullet points or short sentences to convey information effectively. Remember, the audience is there to hear your story. You should do the talking, not the text on your slides.
Utilize Templates. Explore Google Slides templates for a professional and visually appealing presentation.
Effective Use of Color. Choose a color scheme that complements your topic and ensures readability.
Practice Slide Transitions. Use slide transitions sparingly to enhance the flow of your presentation. If transitions are used, keep it simple and consistent.
Include Interactive Elements. Greet the audience at the beginning of the presentation, and thank the audience at the end. If it is relavent, feel free to incorporate polls, quizzes, or interactive elements to engage the audience.
Proofread and Rehearse. Double-check for errors, rehearse your presentation, and gather feedback for improvements.
