Previous Next Instructions
Create a minimum of 8 PowerPoint presentation slides for your final project. As a minimum, you should include:
- A title slide with your title, name, and course
- At least 6 slides of text and images presenting your arguments and evidence
- An APA-style References slide with at least 3 sources
- Accompanying narration, as detailed below
- An attractive background/design for your presentation
- Visuals on the slides as needed to help illustrate your points
Written materials
Choose the main points that you want to share with your audience. The final draft of the PPT should include material from your position paper, library research, image search, and your consideration of alternate viewpoints. All of your work this session can be considered as potential source material for your PPT. Determine how to best use these materials to present your viewpoint in your slides.
Tips: Keep your titles, bulleted lists, and written materials short. Do not include long, written passages or an entire essay on the slides. For help organizing your points, consider using the reverse outline technique (https://writingcenter.gmu.edu/guides/reverse-outlining).
Narration
You should include some form of narration to accompany the presentation. This element is your way of presenting the PowerPoint presentation to the class. Choose one of the following methods:
- Record your narration on each PPT slide. (PowerPoint has this feature built in. Go to Insert > Audio > Record Audio. You will need to do this on each slide if you choose this method.) OR
- Record yourself on video presenting the PPT. (As an example, you could try Screencast-O-Matic, which is a free video recorder online.)OR
- Include a written script to accompany the PPT. (If you don’t have audio on your computer, attach a written script in document form.)
