A neighbouring secondary school has heard that Aorere College has an active SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) group. The senior students would like to become involved, but want to know more.
Their Principal has invited KHS SADD members to talk to a senior assembly. You've been asked to prepare a PowerPoint slideshow as part of the presentation. Our SADD group is willing to pay you $7.50 per hour for your work, and they've given you an information sheet to work from.
Resources
In this exercise, Part A must be completed, and approved by your teacher before you begin Part B.
Part A: Design
Use a word processor to answer the following:
- Identify the presentation topic, purpose, and target audience.
- If you were to give such a talk, what equipment and software applications would you need to create the presentation?
- What equipment and software applications would you need to deliver the presentation?
- You are to be paid for creating the presentation at a rate of $7.50 per hour. The budget is limited. Starting from today, give an estimate of the cost and completion date for your presentation. You will be held to the completion date.
- Print this document.
- Now, use the outlining feature of PowerPoint to plan 812 slides for your presentation. Remember that these should be brief, rather than trying to convey complex information. Summarise where possible. A good rule of thumb is no more than six words per line. The person making the presentation will give the speech, and your slideshow should complement it.
- Print your outline.
Part B: Create the presentation
Once your teacher has approved Part A, go ahead and create your presentation. The following points must be taken into consideration:
- The content of the slides must meet the design specification.
- The presentation of content should ensure effective communication:
- colour combinations
- text style
- graphic layout
- special effects (e.g. animation and/or builds)
- The organisation of the slides should also ensure effective communication:
- quantity of slides (not too many, not too few)
- order of presentation
- position and direction indicators
Slide transition effects must be used to maintain audience attention.
