To the above 5 points for your Week 6 Assignment, add the following point:
• Put your details in your Speaker’s Notes below each slide which conveys for your reference what you will
cover in detail in presenting that slide. The audience to a presentation does not see the Speaker’s Notes
but they are important for you to make a complete presentation with explanatory material that is not
contained on the slides. (And for Assignment 6 –your prof. will be reading these in evaluating your
presentation.)
Your challenge is to put the appropriate key words, using bullet point designations, on your slides (with appropriate
visuals) to communicate what you need on the slide, and then expand your presentation with your Speaker’s Notes
for that slide. Speaker’s notes are NOT a duplication of what is printed on a slide.
VISUALS – Note no. 2 on Godin’s list above: Use images that relate to the presentation and the material on that
particular slide. You want your presentation to look professional and capture interest. Images should contribute to the
topic. Warning: Do not superimpose your slide text on top of images that clutter the slide and make the text difficult
to read. Visuals should add to, not mask, the message.
Beware of colors. Bright oranges and reds “scream” at the audience. Heavy black backgrounds or similar dark color
boxes are depressing and difficult to read.
