Why PowerPoint ?

to hold interest to focus attention to tell a story to support the message being delivered

SLIDE STRUCTURE

1-2 slides per minute point/bullet form (no complete sentences) 4-5 points per slide key words and phrases only

Text on slide : too much

This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

Text on slide : good

Showing one point at a time will: o help audience concentrate on what you

are saying o prevent audience from reading ahead o help you keep your presentation focused
