  1. Guidelines for Creating Powerpoints Ms. Barben 2012

  2. Have an Appropriate Heading for EACH Slide • This is to make it easy to check that you have met every requirement. • It also makes it easier for your classmates and Ms. Barben to read and follow. • Go in the EXACT ORDER provided in the lesson plan. • Examples: • United States Statistics • Geography of Sierra Leone • Also Include an Appropriate Sub-Heading for MULTIPLE SLIDES! • Examples: • Geography of Sierra Leone---Political Map • Type of Government for Sierra Leone---Important Facts on Current President

  3. Decide Which Type of Layout Works BEST for the Information • There are several different types of layouts for powerpoint slides. • Look at the information you will be presenting and decide on which format works best. • For example, when comparing the literacy rates for men and women, you may choose to use the two content slide. • You may also use DIFFERENT COLORS to distinguish between the similar statistics. • For example, • Red for women • Blue for men

  4. Amount of Information on Each Slide • Do not put too much information on one slide! • It makes your project looked crammed and confusing. • Too many graphics and/or colors on one slide will confuse whoever is reading it, so keep it simple. • It looks more professional that way. • It is okay to have more than one slide on the same topic to maintain neatness. • Do in BULLET FORMAT! • DO NOT WRITE IN PARAGRAPH FORMAT! TOO HARD TO READ AND TAKE NOTES FROM!

  5. Enlarge and Bold Font to Make Easier to Read • Use Calibri or Times New Roman. • Use a large number for the size of font---should be no smaller than size 16. • If it cannot fit on the slide, break it up into more slides. • Use BOLD. • Use underlining to designate headings. • Use color, but not YELLOW or ORANGE which is hard to read, to distinguish different statistics.

  6. Labeling Maps • To label the maps, you will go to Insert. • Then click on Shapes. • Then click on the first option which is a box with A and horizontal lines. • Then click where on the slide you want the box to be. • Shapes also has arrows that you can add to the map to connect the map to the Text Boxes. • Or click on Text Box. • Then begin typing information.

  7. Graphics • Whenever you put a picture on a slide make sure you note what that picture is showing. • Use a text box or small caption to describe what is shown in the picture. • Captions should not be long. • No more than 2 sentences • Make sure all graphics and captions relate to the information on the slide that it is on. • This will enhance the slides.

  8. Parenthetical Citations • If ALL the information is from the same bibliographical citation source… • Then you need ONLY ONE parenthetical citation at the bottom of the slide.

  9. Parenthetical Citations • However, if the information comes from two or more sources, • Then you need to include the parenthetical citation for each different source next to that specific statistic or piece of information.

  10. Step 9: When you have completed your research, EXPORT your Works Cited Page. • In the top left corner of your screen, choose "Print/Export to Word." • Then cut and paste and put at the end of your powerpoint
