I. Basic Requirements:

1. Use a storyboard to sketch out your ideas
2. Minimum of 6-10 slides that tell a story
3. First slide—title page—defines the presentation topic
4. Second slide—table of contents—outlines topic
5. Final slide presents a summary or conclusion
6. Minimum of 12 functions (see choices in table below)
7. Include a scanned image
8. Include a digital image
9. Turn in a storyboard and list of functions used
10. Turn in 2 or more peer evaluations

II. Slide Show Guidelines:

1. Information is arranged coherently (logical, consistent and complete)
2. Presentation persuades or informs its audience
3. Information in bulleted format—no sentences or paragraphs
4. Fonts are readable
5. Graphics are appropriate and support the content
6. Transitions are subtle and do not distract from the presentation
7. Animation effects enhance the presentation or make a point
8. Borders are used effectively to set all graphics off from the background

III. Presentation Guidelines:

1. Speak clearly with a volume that is easy to hear
2. Maintain eye contact—look at your audience, not your notes
3. Control pace of slide changes—use automatic timing or help from a peer
4. Summarize slide contents—don't read word-for-word to your audience
