29. Visual aids Practicing the introduction of a presentation

30.  What is a visual aid?  What kind of visual aids do you know?  What is the most commonly used visual aid in presentations?  Which ones do you prefer to use?

31.  support your ideas  improve audience comprehension  add variety to presentation (a break from listening)  enliven a difficult / boring subject  help illustrate complex ideas/concepts  help the presenter to stick to the plan

32.  A maximum of five lines per slide  A maximum of five words per line  If you stick to this rule, you won’t overload your bullet charts

33.  Start with an outline of the goal  Keep visual aids BRIEF  Do not read AV directly (what you say vs. AV)  Ask audience to read or listen, not both

34.  Account for production time (both in planning and selection)  Check relevance to topic  Use charts and graphs  Make sure graphics are not too crowded

35.  Don't let handouts become a distraction  Practice with AV  Seek feedback on the clarity of your AV  Check grammar and spelling

36.  1 st or 2 nd slide - outline  Only main points on the outline slide ◦ Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points

37.  1-2 slides per minute  Point / bullet form (no complete sent.)  4-5 points per slide  Key words and phrases only

38.  This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

39.  Showing one point at a time will: ◦ help audience concentrate on what you are saying ◦ prevent audience from reading ahead ◦ help you keep your presentation focused

40.  Do not use distracting animation  Do not go overboard with the animation  Be consistent with the animation that you use

41.  Use at least an 18-point font  Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points ◦ this font: 28-point ◦ main point font: 30-point ◦ title font: 42-point  Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial

42.  If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written  CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ  Don’t use a complicated font

43.  Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with the background ◦ Ex: blue font on white background  Use color to reinforce the logic of your structure ◦ Ex: light blue title and dark blue text  Use color to emphasize a point ◦ But use this only occasionally

44.  Using a font color that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read  Using color for decoration is distracting and annoying.  Using a different color for each point is unnecessary ◦ Using a different color for secondary points is also unnecessary  Trying to be creative can also be bad

45.  Use backgrounds such as this one (attractive but simple)  Use backgrounds which are light  Use the same background consistently

46.  Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from  Always be consistent with the background that you use

47.  Proofread your slides for: ◦ speling mistakes ◦ the use of of repeated words ◦ grammatical errors you might have make  Have someone else check your presentation!

48.  Use an effective and strong closing ◦ Audience is likely to remember your last words  Use a conclusion slide to: ◦ Summarize the main points ◦ Suggest future avenues of research

49.  End with a simple question slide to: ◦ Invite your audience to ask questions ◦ Provide a visual aid during question period ◦ Avoid ending a presentation abruptly

53. in the centre A B C in the upper right-hand corner in the bottom left- hand corner

54. F E D G Which box is... 1.at the top 2.on the left 3.at the bottom 4.on the right

59. Literature may consist of texts based on factual information (journalistic or non-fiction), a category that may also include polemical works, biographies, and reflective essays, or it may consist of texts based on imagination (such as fiction, poetry, or drama). Literature written in poetry emphasizes the aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as sound, symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, ordinary meanings, while literature written in prose applies ordinary grammatical structure and the natural flow of speech. Literature can also be classified according to historical periods, genres, and political influences. While the concept of genre has broadened over the centuries, in general, a genre consists of artistic works that fall within a certain central theme; examples of genre include romance, mystery, crime, fantasy, erotica, and adventure, among others.
