2. Be sure to thoroughly review the “Elements Grade Sheet”
and “Presentation Rubric”. This will help you to understand
how you will be graded. Plan and design your Element Tile,
PowerPoint presentation and Oral Report accordingly.
POWERPOINT PRESENTATION – Be sure to include the following in
your PowerPoint presentation.
 Must have at least 6 slides (no more than 8)
 All requirements for the Element Tile should be included in your PowerPoint
presentation. (Be able to provide detail and elaborate on each item)
 Make good use of graphics and animation (Don’t go wild. Including too many
sounds or special effects can be distracting to the audience, but may also
contribute to creativity)
 Be careful with all of the computer equipment. Make sure your Internet
search includes appropriate sites. (Not Wikipedia) And properly cite
them.
 SAVE DATA ON A BACK UP CD or USB drive AS WELL AS YOUR OWN
COMPUTER or your school account. (You may use one of the classroom
disks or bring your own from home.)
ORAL REPORT - Be sure to include the following in your Oral Report.
 When presenting be sure to speak toward the audience not the Promethian
board or computer.
 Speak up! Talk loud enough for the people in the back of the room to
hear you.
 Share equal time If working in groups. Both partners must contribute
equally.
 Your presentation should be between 3 – 4 minutes in length. (No more
than 5 min.)
 Don’t read what is on the screen. (The audience can do that.) Explain and
elaborate. Be an expert on your element. Be able to answer questions.
