The Art and Abuse of PowerPoint
It has become standard to add a PowerPoint to every speech even if it’s not useful.
If you remember a few basic principles, your PowerPoint will wow the crowd rather than put them to sleep.
Rule 1 A PowerPoint is not meant to replace the speaker’s notes.
Rule 2 The PowerPoint is meant to benefit the audience not the speaker.
Rule 3 Less is more when it comes to words on a slide.
Rule 4 It must be easy to read.
Rule 5 Keep the fonts clean and simple.
Rule 6 Make sure you have enough contrast between the font and the background.
Rule 7 Leave the special effects to the 3-D movies.
Your PowerPoint will be graded on how well you follow the rules in creating your presentation.
Your teacher will specify the topic and number of slides.
