Good Things I Saw Obvious preparation for many Correct amount of time Poised and not nervous, smiling Well-organized (overviews at beginning, divided into sections) Careful attention to PowerPoint Correctly spelled words Nice pictures Good-sized text Kind, helpful, honest, SPECIFIC comments

Things to Work on Not enough preparation Professionalism Presentations shorter than 3 minutes Lots of “uhs” and “ums” Reading from notes or PPTs Professionalism SPELLCHECK—especially key words like “hobby” or “favorite” Use big fonts, colors, and pictures in PPTs DO NOT CUT AND PASTE TEXT FROM INTERNET!!!!
