Advice for my Photo Essay on Power Point?


Question Posted Sunday May 16 2010, 11:35 am

I'm in grade 12 english and my idea of a photo essay on power point is that I memorize all the information and with each slide there will be one picture and one sentence and I will show off my knowledge by just talking and expanding on that one point.

But we're also getting marked on the actual presentation, written delivery of message, and biographical information so do you think I should point many points? Because then, wouldn't it seem like I don't know my stuff and that I'm reading off of the board?

Also, I'm focusing on a person who I inspire that had a double amputation but I want to gather the itnerest of classmates first so I thought I'ld introduce the topic of amputation in general. How would I say that? "Before introducing my inspirational person, I'd like to give you a general interest of the human body"? "Before introducing my person, I'd like to introduce the wide range of adversaries other people have faced as well"?

I think you guys can think of something better. Thanks! (I've never done this before so any tips would be greatly appreciated!)

Well first, if you are being graded based on the information on the power point, then by all means, put the information on it! You can show off your knowledge by NOT reading and NOT looking at it unless you need a reference. Just face your audience and talk and even add stuff in the power point doesn't say. That is better because if you just have one sentence you may miss something crucial during the actual presentation whether it be nerves, a distraction, or you are just trying to remember too much. This way you show off and really know what you are talking about.

Don't do the "before" part. Just stated a fact about amputation and go right into your information. It is direct and it is less likely to lose people's attention. The others honestly sound a bit awkward.
