 When creating a
power point think of
your students.
ELL students can grasp content quicker and
remember it better when you make an engaging
slide
Visuals can be very effective and powerful for
students, especially ELL, and Special Ed
students.
Choose an engaging but appropriate font.

NO…
•Too small or too big
•Hard to read
•Un seeable colors
 Readable
Readable

Readable
Make sure your font is…
Use of Pictures
Do not overuse them
It gets distracting
Yes :)
NO:(
Long and annoying PowerPoints?

Remember:
students have
short attention
spams, keep the
power point short
and simple
