I’m home sick today. Here’s what you’re doing:
1) Think about an example of a really bad presentation you once saw (it might have been a student presentation, but it was probably a teacher power point!) What made it terrible. DON’T USE NAMES. Just focus on the details that made the power point (or Prezi) presentation ineffective. Jot these ideas down and then share with a partner. Then share with the rest of the class.
2) Think of an example of a good presentation (this was your homework!). What made it good? Jot these ideas down and then share with a partner. Share with the class.
3) Have a look at the following presentation on good power point presentations:
4) From this presentation and your discussions make a list of the criteria you would expect from a good presentation with slides. Hand these lists in.
5) You can have the rest of the period for working on your seminars. Please remember that book talks begin next week. These were originally scheduled to start Monday, but I still need time to get your CCAs back to you and obviously that won’t happen today so instead we will work on seminars Monday and Tuesday and begin book talks on Wednesday.
