Helpful Hints:

The PowerPoint Presentation slides are a visual aid for your group. Above all, your discussion of

your assigned story and your presentation of the relevant chapters presented by Foster in How

to Read Literature Like a Professor weighs most heavily upon your grade.

Do use notecards and SPEAK to the audience about your story and the relevant Foster

chapters; do not read all of your material from the slides without knowing what you’re

talking about.

Do practice your presentation ahead of time keeping it between 7-10 minutes; do not

stumble around trying to figure out who is presenting which slide/s when you’re in front

of the class and taking more than your allotted time.

Do use economy of words on your slides no smaller than 24-point font; do not overload

your slides with too much text.

Do try to prepare the best project in order to win the table-of-the-month distinction; do

not simply go through the motions and prepare a substandard presentation.
