Presentation Zen: How to make a PowerPoint that doesn't suck.

1. Starter 7: (Get visuals from Lori)  Content aside, which of these presentations would you rather listen to?  Why?  What are the differences between these two PowerPoint presentations?  How would these presentations differ for the speaker?  Explain.

2. PowerPoint Guidelines

• Brainstorm: What makes a good PPT presentation?  Think about slides AND the verbal presentation.
• PowerPoint Presentation Notes

3. Weapons Presentations

• CHANGE: You can do 3 secondary sources (if you are struggling to find a relevant primary source), OR 1 primary and 1 secondary.
• When you finish your research notes, email them to lori.teacher@gmail.com
• Start on your presentation preparation.  Do notecards for yourself first, THEN the PPT.
