This document provides guidelines for creating an effective PowerPoint presentation. It recommends including an introductory title slide, a thesis statement slide, goals/objectives slide, multiple subtopic slides with transitions between each, a concluding wrap-up slide that reviews the main points and solicits questions, and a works cited slide. Sources should be cited in-text and on the works cited slide. Presentations should be between 5-10 minutes. Videos should be used sparingly and incorporated with analysis; no more than 1 minute is recommended. To make the presentation stand out, engage the audience, use visuals to support points made, be professional in appearance and delivery, and include unique elements like artifacts or demonstrations.
