brief skit, poem, anecdote, video, etc. Be
creative!
Engaging your peers will be part of your
grade

relevant evidence
Presentation Design
– Don’t overload your slides with too much
text or data.
– FOCUS. In general, using a few
powerful slides is key.
– Give slides a title.
– Proofread everything. Flunkers count!
– Keep similar topics together
Visual Elements
– 28 to 34 bold font (Arial is easiest)
– Use clear, simple visuals. Don’t confuse the
audience.
– Use contrast: light on dark or dark on light.
– Graphics should make a key concept clearer.
– Place your graphics in a similar location within
each screen.
Numbers and Statistics
– Big numbers are confusing.
– If you have more than 5 numbers on a slide,
it’s too many.
Numbers and Stats Cont’d
- Cite your source on the same slide as the
statistic, using a slightly smaller size font.
