Tips and Content Guide
TIPSFOR YOUR PRESENTATION STYLE &
POWERPOINT SLIDES
5 minute minimum 7 minute maximum 3-4 minutes for
questions You will need to
practice to perfect your time management!
Timing
Appropriate Dress
This is a nervous thing
Control it! Or you will lose
credibility with your audience
NO INAPPROPRIATE LAUGHTER
NO EXTRA FIDGETING
This is a nerves thing too! No kicking No pacing No inappropriate movement It’s distracting! Be comfortable, use your
hands as necessary, take a few steps here and there
But don’t overdue it!
If you practice and know your stuff
This will not happen
NO MUMBLING
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT
YOU’RE GOING TO SAY FOR EACH SLIDE
NOT MEMORIZED, NECESSARILY, BUT THE GENERAL IDEA
CAN LOOK FOR NUMBERS! READING YOUR SLIDES WILL
CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CREDIBILITY!
DON’T READ YOUR SLIDES
It’s really annoying when text is too small Or images are too small Or there is to much white space
USE ALL YOUR SLIDE
WATCH IMAGE QUALITY
THIS IS HARD TO READ This is hard to read THIS IS TOO SMALL
THIS IS TOO BIG
LEGIBLE FONT SIZE AND COLOR
Will overwhelm and bore your audience Be concise and focused Don’t use complete sentences Don’t write down everything you will say Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation,
conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field,
as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor
power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what
they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
