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
