Keep
these things in mind when creating your PowerPoint presentation:
v
Keep it short. You will have
a title slide in addition
to one slide for each of your five elements in addition to an ending slide.
v
Save your presentation in
a new folder on your floppy disk. Name
the folder Your Name.
v
Be concise – too much
information on a slide will bore your audience.
Only list the main points you are trying to make.
You can elaborate when you give your presentation.
v
Use special effects only
when they will enhance your presentation. They
can be too distracting to your audience.
v
Copy any and all graphics
(pictures) and sounds (music) into your folder where you saved your presentation and insert them
into PowerPoint from that folder. This
means that you will have to plan ahead.
