Slide organization Main points should use larger font

to stand out.

Use white space strategically to

frame content.

Colorful, busy backgrounds can be

distracting and take away from the

content of the presentation.

Bullet points do not need to be

complete sentences but should

be consistent. “Presentations look

much better if they have an

underlying theme, or look“

(Lawton, 2007).

Slide organization

Speaker Notes: Lunsford (2009) stated, “ Today, perhaps more

than ever before, everyone can be a writer—every day” (p. vi).

The in-text citation for images

can also be placed in the speaker

notes.

The use of pictures may add

visual interest. However, avoid

use of too many pictures or too

obtrusive or irrelevant pictures.

The majority of the text and

information should be included

within the speaker notes, while

the slides themselves should

only contain key words and

phrases.
