Prepare PowerPoint slides to accompany your eight-minute video presentation; the topic can be over anything you choose, but consider the following:

Choose a topic you already know.
Choose a topic you are passionate about.
When designing your slides, you can safely assume your audience will be a friendly audience (Figure 12.2). Read Chapter 12 paying careful attention to pages 371 – 379, page 364, and Figures 12.2, 12.4, 12.9, 12.10, 12.11, and 12.12.

There are five requirements you must follow:

1. Incorporate visual appeal, and make sure everything is readable at a glance. Your slides should have visual appeal, but you don’t have to incorporate something on every slide. Fonts used on images you include should be readable at a glance, and there should be appropriate contrast between your content and the background.

2. Prepare a minimum of eight slides (seven if no need for citations):

Title slide. Capitalize all major words and make sure to include your name.
Overview slide. This slide should show your audience the main points your presentation will cover in concise bulleted form. Your conclusion and citation slides are NOT main points and should NOT be listed on the overview slide. It would be great to use parallelism on this slide, but sometimes that’s difficult to do so it won’t be assessed on this slide.
Written content slide (minimum of 4). Content slide titles should be titled similar to the corresponding main point on the overview slide and should follow the order shown on your overview slide.
Conclusion slide followed with citation slide if one is needed. The conclusion slide may repeat main points from the overview or show a take away point(s). If students use ANYTHING that is not their own (content/pictures/images), use a citation slide. I am not assessing how it is cited, but I do want to make sure no one is plagiarizing anything.
3. Follow the 6×6 rule. Since theses slides are going to accompany your video presentation, use *no more than six words per bulleted point and no more than six bullets per slide for every slide. I DO count the words, and using seven words isn’t close enough because I’m assessing your ability to follow requirements and be concise. ONLY one slide may be an exception to the 6×6 rule but only to incorporate a quote or a definition on a separate slide; even then you should still strive to keep it short. When counting the words per bulleted point, consider that names such as The Daily Wire count as one word because it’s one thing.

4. Use parallelism. Review pages 72 – 73. The first words of all bulleted points on a slide should have a common ring to (aka balance) them. I assess this only on your content slides.

5. Proofread and be consistent. Use proper punctuation, grammar, capitalization, and spelling. Check for typos and odd spaces. Follow the same style throughout. Be consistent with capitalization of slide titles and with content in bulleted points. Be consistent with use of end punctuation or the use of no end punctuation of bullet points.
