FROM THE PRESENTATION

Proficient Design:

Everything looks

neat

The slides are

organized

Not too busy

Very nice slide

show, but nothing

extra special

Basic Design:

The elements of the

show distract the

audience

PROFICIENT:

3-5 minutes

Logical order-slides and facts are in an order that makes sense

Limited focus- not as sharp as an advanced

BASIC:

Less than 3 minutes

Not very logical-slides out of order, facts out of order (education mentioned before birth)

Somewhat random focus- a little scattered, but not completely wrecked

Title slide with research question,

your name, and teacher name.

Same fonts, colors, sizes throughout

presentation for advanced

If labels make the presentation better, give

an advanced

If everything is okay, but may have one or

two poor choices such as changes in size or

font = proficient

Some major distractions in labels,

titles, text such as really large text or

Word Art that cannot be read = basic

Spelling must be accurate for

proficient and advanced Some spelling errors = basic

Several spelling errors = below basic

ADVANCED:

Uses media in an engaging way. Example: Overview has hyperlinks to other slides.

No problems navigating through slideshow presentation

References visual pictures (not just reading the captions)

Use of an interactive website

Tells more than what is on the slide. Explains timelines, picture gallery, or student created diagrams

PROFICIENT:

References media/pictures once or twice

Overview has hyperlinks to other slides within presentation. However, some problems exist in navigating through presentation.

Just reads the picture captions

Mentions timelines, picture gallery, or student created diagrams

BASIC:

No reference to media/pictures

Hyperlinks to other slides don’t work

Layout of slideshow is confusing

Can’t use PPT properly.
