B. Create an Informative Slide Presentation base on Part A

You are required to create a slide presentation that accommodates your oral delivery. The slide presentation cannot replace you as the speaker, however, it supports your main points in the speech. Slide presentations appeal to our visual senses and help us understand and remember material. For example, if you were giving a speech on psoriasis, a skin disorder, then it would be help to show pictures of psoriasis and perhaps a brief bullet list of the contributors of psoriasis.

· Can you tell me what should go on each slide from beginning to end? Yes.

First, you should have between 3-5 slides. The first slide is the cover. Think of your cover slide like a cover for a book or a magazine. On the cover slide you should put a title that corresponds with your speech and your name at minimum. You can also add a picture if you want. The inside slides should represent your main points. The last slide is either the bibliography or works cited for the slide presentation or you can type “Thank You”.

· What can I put on my slides?

You can use pictures, pie charts, bar charts, line charts, word charts, bullet lists, diagrams and drawings. Make sure that your charts and/or diagrams are easy to read from a distance.

· Where can I locate pictures?

You can use Pixabay (www.pixabay.com) or Google Images.

· Can I put more than one picture on a slide? Yes

if it helps support the point that you are discussing. Be careful and try not to overcrowd the slide.

· Do I have to place my works cited or bibliography on the slide? It depends.

Did you put a quote from someone on the slide? Did you use someone else’s chart on your slide? Anything that you place on your slide that belongs to someone else and requires attribution (citation), then you must add a works cited or bibliography. You also have to cite on slide either by using parenthetical citation or a caption.

· What should I not put on slides?

You should not put paragraphs on your slides. You should not put any part of your introduction on the slide or any part of your conclusion on the slide.
