Perfect Presentation

1). On the second day of class in my British Literature class, my professor gave a presentation. It was literally the most boring presentation I have ever witnessed in my entire life. I was fighting off sleep on the SECOND day of class. It was an all black and white PowerPoint with no pictures and no transitions. As well as it was fully loaded with text. It was awful. On the other hand, I had to go to a Defensive Driving class for 6 hours last Saturday (to help pay off a speeding ticket) and it was actually really entertaining. The man teaching the course told a lot or stories as well as jokes, showed a lot of videos, and even played games and such to keep the class involved.

2). There have been numerous times when I had been working on an assignment while trying to hold a full conversation through texting or by checking Facebook and Instagram, but in the end, it only took me longer to complete my assignment than it would have taken if I hadn't done anything else and focused solely on my assignment at hand.

3). I would use a lot of images, videos, and personal stories as a basis for my points being made. All of these resources would help improve my presentation.

4). Honestly, I think I did a really good job on my website including a lot of pictures and colors to keep the audience engaged and interested.

5).I haven't made a PowerPoint, so therefore, I will not be tossing any slides.

Brief Proposal Presentation to Class

My presentation is themed around young adults and education. It is meant to look school-ish, yet professional enough to be credible.

I'm using the website, a tri-fold project presentation thing to post my poster on as well as other information about my project, and I'm probably going to bring a bunch of cookies as well.

As far as my time-line goes, I'm almost done with my website and my poster is completed. I will get my tri-fold finished nearer to the due date.
