Day 34- Visual Aids Continued

Class Today: Visual Aid Workshop

I changed the topic for class today. Many of you seem to have difficulty with visual aids, so let's discuss how to make a good powerpoint or prezi.

Here are a few examples of good powerpoints:
1. One- Shift Happens
2. Two- Smoke: The Convenient Truth
3. Three- Thirst

Now, use this handout to critique your powerpoint. What is missing? What is good?
Next, have someone else look at your powerpoint using a second sheet.

Next Class: Presentation Workshop Day

Homework:
1. Pick which day you would like to present your commercial. Only 5 people can present each day! Use this google doc spreadsheet.
2. Be prepared to practice your presentation on Wednesday.
