Checklist

 

Use this checklist to prepare your PowerPoint presentation.

Each partner should print out his/her checklist.  Put a check mark in “self” for all the slides you will prepare.  When you have completed creating the slide, you should write “done” in that box.

PowerPoint “Need to Knows”

1.          You will each need a floppy disk to save your work when combining your slides into one presentation.

2.          You should create presentations with the same background as your partner so that when you put your slides together your presentation will have a consistent look

3.          You may use a few sounds in your presentation, but if they distract rather than enhance the product, this will hurt your grade.

4.          You should save your work often while you are working.

5.          You may spend additional time working at home, but only if you cannot finish the work during class time.
