6.       Share your power point with me in Google Docs.  Make sure you title it and include your first and last       name, and hour. 

General guidelines:        
*Set the appropriate mood/tone for your topic with images, color, and wording.

_____  slide 1:  a “catchy” title, your name, hour and date
_____  slide 2:  an introductory slide with an effective “attention grabbing “ lead – just like an introduction for an essay.  You may use
                          sentence formatting for this slide.

_____  slide 4:  State four to six factual details that support slide #3.  Use bulleted ideas not complete sentences.

Disaster Unit - Part 3 of 3:  Presenting your Power point (SL 8.5, 6)

Learning Objective:  Students will integrate multimedia, visual displays (SL 8.5), and adapt speech to a variety of contexts, demonstrating command of the English language (SL 8.6).
Teaching Objective:  Students will follow directions to meet the requirements of presenting their “Disaster” Power Point to the class.

Directions:  Follow the guidelines outlined.  Familiarize yourself with the rubric scale and prepare accordingly.
     *Prepare and use note cards, so you can have eye contact with your audience – not the power point.  Do not  write out, word for word, what you intend to say.
     *Know information in addition to what is in your power point – expand ideas – provide the “meat” to the  power point “skeleton” in your delivery.
     *Turn in this paper when you present. 
     *Look at your audience.  Speak loud and clear.  Disengage in distractions.  Avoid causing 
       distractions.
