Presenting Ideas (PowerPoint edition)

As we come towards the end of the year that I have with your children (only 10-11 weeks left!), I'm trying to continue with what I started with your children this year. One of those items is the idea of presentation. I'm sure you've been more than happy with the presentations, speeches, PowerPoints, and other activities that have left you thinking, "Why is he assigning this? I don't even know how to help!"

Well, honestly, it's because I want your children to be ready for a variety of situations in which they may need to present. As someone who has sat through a lot of BAD presentations (in this case, I'm talking about PROFESSIONAL presentations. I'm not talking about your child.), I want to learn from those mistakes to help your child success. The more I can present to them now, the more likely they'll use it down the road.

So, that brings me to the slideshow below. Your children have begun using PowerPoints this year, and I desperately don't want them to fall into the trap of bad presentations. Feel free to watch it (it's about 3-4 minutes), and keep this in mind when your child is creating a presentation. They have the ability to be heard with not only the words they use, but the images they use to show, and the methods in which they give their message. I want them to be powerful. We'll have our missteps, there's no doubt on that. However, I want them to always revisit what they've done, and look at how they could make it better.

Well, I'll let you explore. Please share any ideas or beliefs that you have below, and, as always, have a good one!
