Overview ThoughtsThe purpose of the PowerPoint is to communicate, not prove you can create cool effects. Use standardized position, colors and styles Include only necessary information Use colors that contrast Be consistent with effects, transitions and animation should be smooth and not just for effect.

Plan carefully Do your research
Know your audience Time your presentation
Practice your presentation Speak comfortably and
clearly

Develop the body first
Every presentation has three essential components:
an opening, a body,
and a closing. Since the body is the longest part of the presentation, developing it
first will save time to create an opening and a closing that tie
together.
![Page 5: How To Build a PowerPoint for Mr. Fowler’s Class](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167f0550346895ddd61cf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Select a framework to help you develop the body of your
presentation. A framework is simply an organizational tool.
Some frameworks for organization include:
A personal story Three main points
Comparison and contrast Past present and future
(in any order.)

Another easy framework to use in developing the body is an
acronym. For example I use the TOAD acronym when explaining
what makes "presentations croak. " The "TOAD" acronym
stands for, Timing, Organization, Audience, and
Delivery. The TOAD acronym is the body of the speech with
three minutes devoted to each topic.

Make yourself cue cards. Don’t put them on the
screen. Put them in your hand. Now, you can use the
cue cards you made to make sure you’re saying what you came to say.

Make slides that reinforce your words, not repeat them.
Talking about pollution in Houston? Instead of giving
four bullet points of EPA data, why not read me the stats but show me a photo of a bunch of
dead birds, some smog and even a diseased lung? It
works.

Tips for Making Effective PowerPoint Presentations
Use the slide master feature to create a consistent and simple design template. It is fine to vary the content presentation (i.e. bulleted list, 2-column text, text & image), but be consistent with other elements such as font, colors, and background.
![Page 10: How To Build a PowerPoint for Mr. Fowler’s Class](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167f0550346895ddd61cf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Overuse of special effects such as animation and sounds may make your presentation "cutesy" and negatively impact your credibility. Use good quality images that reinforce and complement your message.
![Page 11: How To Build a PowerPoint for Mr. Fowler’s Class](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167f0550346895ddd61cf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Simplify and limit the number of words on each screen. Use key phrases and include only essential information. Limit punctuation and avoid putting words in all capital letters. Empty space on the slides enhance readability.
![Page 12: How To Build a PowerPoint for Mr. Fowler’s Class](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167f0550346895ddd61cf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Use contrasting colors for text and background. Dark text on a light background is best. Patterned backgrounds reduce text readability. Avoid using of flashy transitions such as text fly-ins. These features may seem impressive at first, but are slow, distracting and get old quickly.
![Page 13: How To Build a PowerPoint for Mr. Fowler’s Class](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167f0550346895ddd61cf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Make sure your slides are readable from the back row seats. Text and graphics should be large enough to read, but not so large as to appear "loud.“Practice moving forward AND backward within your presentation. Audiences often ask to see the previous screen again.
![Page 14: How To Build a PowerPoint for Mr. Fowler’s Class](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167f0550346895ddd61cf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Practice with someone who has never seen your presentation. Ask them for honest feedback about colors, content, and any effects or graphics you've included.
Do not read from your slides. The content of your slides is for the audience, not for the presenter.
![Page 15: How To Build a PowerPoint for Mr. Fowler’s Class](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167f0550346895ddd61cf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Do not speak to your slides. Poor presenters face the direction of their presentation rather than their audience.
Do not apologize for anything in your presentation. If you believe something will be hard to read or understand, don't use it.

Quote about AuthorAccording to a source on the Internet,“Here lie the ashes of Dorothy Parker (1893 -
1967) humorist, writer, critic. Defender of human and civil rights. For her epitaph she suggested, 'Excuse my dust'. This memorial garden is dedicated to her noble spirit which celebrated the oneness of humankind and to the bonds of everlasting friendship between black and Jewish people. Dedicated by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. October 28, 1988.”

This slide is poorly constructed, the font
and background colors do not contrast
rendering the page almost impossible to
read.

Dickinson's father introduced her to a young man from his law office named Benjamin Franklin Newton. Newton had joined the law office in 1847 when Dickinson was away at school. He was a frequent visitor to the Dickinson house, Emily and Benjamin began spending a great deal of time together. They took long walks, admired the natural surroundings discussing and debating literature. Dickinson even consented to show Benjamin some of her poetry. Benjamin was impressed by Dickinson's work, but told her she would have to work extremely hard to become great. This encouraged her and she came to think of Newton as a tutor of sorts. He recommended authors to her and she read nearly every book he suggested. In 1849, Benjamin Newton told Dickinson that he had decided to move back to Worcester, Massachusetts, the town in which he grew up. Dickinson was devastated by his departure. As a parting gift, Benjamin gave her a copy of Ralph Waldo Emerson's Poems Benjamin Newton (Emily
Dickinson's inspirer)

This slide has far too much text.
While the visual isn’t problematic, there is
too much text for one page. There is enough text for four or more
pages.

"Hope is a thing with feathersThat perches in the soul;
And sings the tune without wordsAnd never stops at all."
-Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

The quality of the photograph on this slide is poor and when projected it
degrades further. The color of the font does not have enough contrast
to the background.
