4. One day, Lily and Lloyd were asked to
create presentations for English class.
Their approaches
were very different.

7. Title Slides
• Lloyd didn’t have one. His PowerPoint began
with a random slide about his topic.
Poor Lloyd!

10. Beginnings
• Lloyd had an example that made no sense
because he hadn’t introduced his main point.
Poor Lloyd!

12. Slide Construction
• Lily
– put the topic at the top of her slide
– bulleted her text and supplemented with her speech.
– used a font large enough to read

13. Slide Construction
• Lloyd
Poor Lloyd!
– forgot his title.
– put way too much text on one slide (and read
from it).
– used a small font.

16. Visual Appeal
• Lloyd
– either had too many pictures and no pictures at all.
• And (boo!) he forgot to cite his pictures.
– picked a style that distracted from his topic.
– used light text and a dark, patterned background
Poor Lloyd!
