Presentations:

We will set up for power point point presentations as well as overheads.

Document giving all the instructions: (Download PDF)

Each person should be prepared to give a 10 to 15 minute talk, and there should be some kind of connection or flow between speakers in the same group.

Things to include on your visuals (excerpted from the instructions document, above):

-A Title stating the main purpose of this slide or overhead (red, top and center)

-A set of bullets, listing the points you want to make (blue and in sequential order)

-Point-to numbers, indicating sequence number of spots you will point to (green and circled)

-The two-component presentation element from the following table (black and boxed, located in upper right corner), where the first component is the functional role, and the second component is the nature of the material.  Pick one italicized entry from each column in the following list (add to this list as you need):

            first component                                                    second component

   (the role of the overhead)                                    (nature of material on overhead)

  General (or whole-talk) Overview                        motivation (e.g., "this is strange")

  Local (or sub-section) Overview                          example (i.e., a specific illustration)

  Primary section (the main subject)                      subject matter (explaining something)
