3. Choosing a theme Make sure it's something you're interested in
Look up example presentations
Browse multiple ideas in PowerPoint
Look at how each slide looks (Title, content, etc.)
Make sure it matches your topic(Ex: if your question is about nature, look up nature themes)
Do not make it too much, its only the background and where you place text. Don’t go overboard.

4. Your guide to pictures
Look on Mutiple sources(Google, Pinterest, Yahoo)
Pictures should be self-descriptive, don’t waste time explaining the image
Make sure they're impactful
Don’t go over with the graphics! Blur an image if needed
Charts and graphs can be extremely informative but are not that fun to look at
Make sure to cite them!

5. Interaction with the screen
Use the yellow highlighter tool during your presentation to circle or underline key ideas. When you do this, make sure you're talking at the same time. Don’t stand in silence while you're circling 1
Use the pen as much as possible while not breaking eye contact too often 2
Don’t read off the screen EVER 3
Interaction with the screen

6. How YOU Look Don’t wear a graphic tee shirt or anything distracting
Stick with something simple and clean
Brush. your. hair.
How YOU Look

7. Vocal Tips Speak loudly and strongly, not too fast.
Use hand gestures when you're not touching the screen
Keep talking while you're switching slides, underlining sentences
Smile! Keep an up-beat, positive tone. The you can make it lower for a dramatic effect when needed.
Your facial expression and voice should match the information on each slide
Bring out your inner actor!
Vocal Tips

8. Communication with the camera
Speak to the camera, talk to it like it’s a real person listening to you
Persuade it! Pretend it's trying to argue with you, show you're passionate
Keep eye contact with the lenses
Look at how you're framed so you know what it can see
Don’t just stay in one place the whole time, move around the screen (just don’t block it)
