Hello class,
I am including information that I hope you find helpful as you complete the Community Assessment assignment.
Given the amount of detail required for the assignment, you will need to include speaker notes with the PowerPoint slides. PowerPoint slides should not include a lot of text. PowerPoint slides should include bulleted items. The detail, with complete sentences and citations, should be included in the speaker notes.
Review the rubric to see all that you should include. Remember, the slides should have “bullets.” The speaker notes will have the detail. The speaker notes will need citations when references were used to write the information.
A reference slide is needed.

PowerPoint Tips

– easy to read
Use graphics
Keep wording concise
Keep font size large (use at least a 32 point)
Keep size consistent
DONT USE ALL CAPS- IT MAKES BULLET POINTS DIFFICULT TO READ “ and it can be perceived as shouting.
Use bold when you want something to stand out
Better yet, change the color of the text you want your audience to be drawn to
Italics are hard to read
No more than 6 bullets per slide
No more than 6-7 words per bullet
Dont use periods at the end of bullets
Capitalize the first word in a bullet but no others (unless it would normally appear capped)
A presentation is not a book; one thought per line
No more than 2 levels of bullets per slide
Simple backgrounds are best
An occasional use of simple animation can be used to create drama
Overuse of animation can be distracting
Graphics should be used for visual appeal
Graphics are best on the left with words to the right of the graphic
Include a reference slide
