One last chance to enhance our presentations

Today, we were going to start our presentations, but weren’t able to due to the of the train being late so we had another day to improve our slideshows. Mr.Paterson reminded  us of the things he has taught us this semester and last semester. It was broken down into three categories: Structure, Design, and Delivery. We had to make sure that our presentation was in the order of intro, author’s biography, plot, interpretations&themes, critique, and lastly the conclusion. Mine was in this exact order, so I was relieved. However, the design on slides seemed to be a bit of a problem. For example, I was using far more fonts and font sizes than I should have been. I fixed it today and I think my entire slideshow looks way more put together and unified now. Another issue I had was my pictures. The teacher advised me to not use clipart images when all your other photos aren’t clipart. This was difficult for me to fix, but I found a way to make it happen. Lastly, I was able to refresh my memory on how the Delivery should be done. When I present sometime soon, I will make sure to keep in mind the following: eye contact, facial expression, body language, movement, and such. We will be starting presentations tomorrow so hopefully I can put what I learned to good use.
