Power Point Introduction
Social Studies
Six slides
Interesting pictures/graphics
Phrases, not sentences, on the slides themselves
Don’t put all your information on the slide. Instead, put the heading
only. For example, on your slide you might have a photo of Plato with
his name, the word: Philosopher, and a date. Then, using notes, you would explain more about him. The
slides are to capture the attention of the viewer; your presentation is
to provide information. You are the star of the presentation, not the
slides. If you were to add up the words on all six slides, the grand
total should be around 75 words.
Notes
You need to practice at home the art of speaking from notes as opposed to the (boring) technique of reading notes. Speaking from notes will captivate your audience; reading from notes will put them to sleep. Eye contact is everything!
