Our whole focus this week revolved around our literature presentations. In the beginning, it was really nice just to select our short stories and read through them. I enjoyed all of the stories, and it was fun to analyze the ‘Big Questions’ we were asked. The hard part came eventually, when Jess and I started to think about how we wanted to present the information we found. Even though we were only given a small chapter to read through on our element of fiction, and a few stories to look at, it seemed like we had a ton of information to go through. Throughout the week, we were able to talk to other groups and get an explanation on how to present our information clearly. I think we have a pretty solid idea of how we want to set up our powerpoint, now we just have to find a way to make it flow well. One idea we really want to focus on is making our presentation visually appealing. I know that I have definitely sat through my fair share of boring lectures, so I want to make sure that ours holds everyone's attention. I think the best way to do this will be through plenty of pictures and visuals. I also want to avoid writing out large paragraphs by using simple bullet points and not robotically reading the powerpoint to the class. The extra information given is what makes the presentation good, and hopefully we will be able to provide that. I am a little nervous as we haven’t done a real presentation in the class before, but I generally don’t mind public speaking so hopefully it will go well. Here is a website that gives some tips for designing visually appealing powerpoints. http://www.proofhq.com/blog-marketing/10-tips-for-designing-presentations-that-dont-suck-pt-1-007623/
