you’ve covered your

hero’s face with

words.

Final Tips• Use animations wisely• Not too little, not too much• Approx. 15 words should appear on the screen at a time

• Pictures should be on the screen long enough for your audience to see• Red is the hardest font color to read• Don’t use busy backgrounds• Save your final PowerPoint in Mrs. Dragavon’s S Drive, in the correct

class period. • SAVE AS YOUR NAME, FIRST AND LAST. • (Example: Justin Bieber.pptx)
