Creating an Effective Presentation


1. Minimize: Keep slides counts to a minimum to maintain a clear message and to keep the
audience attentive. Remember that the presentation is just a visual aid. Most information
should still come from the reporter.

[Link]: Avoid being to fancy by using font style that is easy to read. Make sure that it is also
big enough to be read by the audience. Once you start making your presentation, consider how
big the screen is during your report.

[Link]: Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information on the screen to have
your audience focus on what the speaker is saying than on reading the slide. Limit the content
to six lines and seven words per line. This is known as the 6 x 7 rule.

4. Visual: Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the audience.
In addition, instead of using table of data, use charts and graphs.

5. Consistency: Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font styles and backgrounds.

6. Contrast: Use a light font on dark background or vice versa. This is done so that it is easier to
read. In most instances, it is easier to read on screen if the background is dark. This is due to the
brightness of the screen.

Note: Supplementary Materials such as slide decks and video lessons are uploaded in Google
classroom provided by the teacher. The teacher may also disseminate the Supplementary
Materials through other online platforms for broader accessibility.
