Welcome back, our first assignment: tell us about your summer

Wednesday, August 20th, 2014

Welcome back to class!

You'll create a presentation using Google Drive that will:

Have at least 12 slides showing the audience what you did over the summer.
Contain no less than 15 pictures (some slides can have more than one)
Each slide has no more than six words.

In this assignment, you’ll give a 4-5 minute presentation about a product or service you like.


The minimum requirements are:
  • Speak for 4-5 minutes. If you speak between 4-5 minutes you’ll get 20 points. Time yourself many times to make sure you have enough thoughts to share to take up the time.
  • Your presentation will have at least 12 slides and no more than 20. (20 points)
  • Each slide may have no more than 6 words on the slide. (20 points)
  • Make it creative and look appealing. You should spend at least an hour on the pages making them look nice...properly sized pictures, readable text, backgrounds, transitions, etc. (20 points)
  • You should be able to talk about your summer from memory. Make eye contact with your audience. Practice giving your presentation without the computer. Don’t read off the screen...the screen is there to provide visual support to what you’re communicating to your audience. (20 points)


Assignment is due next week, August 27th. You'll show me your completed project and most of you will present that day as well. Spend the next week practicing your presentation.


Here are some ideas to keep in mind for improving your presentation skills.
