Planning 10A B

1
Planning 10A / B

• Presentation Outline

2
Choice of Format

• You choose the format
• Powerpoint is very popular and effective
• You could make a movie
• You could use other presentation software
• The choice is yours

3
Draft a plan

• On a piece of paper plot out your areas of focus.
• Under each of these headings place some
  sub-topics
• You could end up with about 20 slides in your
  presentation

4
Main Topics (From the Graduation Transition
package)

• Personality and Skills
• Aptitudes
• Values
• Goals
• These are your main topics
• 5-10 slides per topic
• Use photos
• Sell yourself
• Make it interesting to the audience

5
Each Slide

• Build each slide
• My family slide (or slides) could include a
  family photo.
• It could include mini bios on each of my
  parents, brothers or sisters, or extended family.

6
Making the Presentation

• Get all your slides complete prior to adding
  effects, colors, animation.
• The content is most important
• Spend 90 of your time on content
• Spend 10 of your time on the frills
• The computer aspect supports the presentation, it
  does not control it!

7
The Frills

• Frills are fun
• They can be really annoying to the reader
• Keep the text large
• Keep the font simple
• Always use a contrasting font colour (not like
  below)
• Do not have too much text on one slide
• You should speak most of the presentation
• The Powerpoint presentation highlights the
  important parts
• Do not read what is on the screen!

8
Look around

• Look at other successful presentations
• Get ideas
• What works, what does not work
• Insert good ideas into your presentation
