Required Reading: APA PowerPoint Guidelines and Tips for Power Point Presentations. Links are on the Week 4 page.
The purpose of this assignment is to strengthen your summarizing skills as you choose the main points of your research paper and place them into an APA formatted Power Point version.
Assignment 4 – PP VERSION OF WEEK 3 PAPER—This is a visual representation of your Week 3 paper. The PowerPoint should be used to summarize the main points of the paper. Please do not imbed any audio or video in your PP. TIP: Use the ideas in your Week 2 outline for the main points in the summary; you may also use your thesis statement, topic sentences, and concluding idea from the Week 3 paper for the main points in the summary. Course Learning Outcomes: 5, 6
APA formatted; major point summary of paper—cover slide, 5 slides, reference slide for 7 slides total minimum—guidelines for APA PP found in instructions and on the menu bar. You will be graded on summary content, visual (presentation), and APA format including references and citations.
–USE PARALLEL CONSTRUCTION FOR ALL LISTS–ALL COMPLETE SENTENCES OR ALL PHRASES, BUT BE CONSISTENT ON EACH SLIDE.
–DON’T FORGET TO REFERENCE AND ON-SLIDE CITE THE PHOTOS AND TABLES YOU MAY USE!
These presentations will be explaining the main ideas and most important supporting facts from your research essay. These presentations will be graded in the four categories explained below. You should have 5 slides minimally, plus the cover and reference slide. You may need more slides, however, to avoid crowding any one slide with information.
Content: As stated above, the presentation will explain the main ideas and most important supporting facts from your research paper. You should be very selective about using only the most effective material. Remember that effective PowerPoint slides have only a few lines of large, easily readable text. Do not try to crowd masses of small details in small print onto each slide. Choose supporting facts which can be easily expressed by colorful pictures or charts rather than long columns of numbers. On the other hand, remember that every major idea must be supported by solid facts to be believable. Do not merely list ideas without including facts to back them up. Good writing rules apply, including parallel construction.
Organization: As with written papers, there should be good transitions in the presentation. Slides should be arranged so there is a logical connection from each slide to the next. The points should normally be organized so that the most important supporting facts will come near the end of the presentation (climactic order) though other forms of order (e.g. by time sequence) may be used if appropriate.
Visual Aids: Remember the reason for using PowerPoint is to add visual impact to the presentation. If at all possible, do not simply have plain bulleted lists on all the slides. Add relevant clip art or dramatic illustrations. Use (as suggested above) charts and graphs to express quantities. Please do not use audio or video imbeds.
