Content – Covered enough material to adequately explain main themes of the section. If you
include most or all blue headings as a slide you will fulfill this requirement. Also, show should
include 2 audio or video clips.
Creativity – Think of each slide as its own piece of art. Information on the slide should be
spaced out correctly, pictures may be used to fill in space or add to the beautification of the
slide. Remember different layouts can be used for each specific slide to fill information in. This
will be graded on the aesthetics of the slide itself.
Legibility – Font is not too small or too hard to read. There should not be more than 7 lines per
slide and should not be too wordy. Also, only one background should be used for the entire
slideshow. Lastly, there should be no sentences connecting to each other on the same bullet
point.
Note: 1. 20 points will be deducted on the first day of lateness, an additional 10 point on the second
day of lateness, and will not be accepted on the third day of lateness.
2. PowerPoint should be printed 6 slides per page, front and back.
