Your team is now ready to prepare  the PowerPoint presentation to the Board of WWIF on your product. 

You are to follow the guidelines listed below in completing this final task.

Note the relationship between the guidelines shown here and the grades on the rubric.

Your slide show should be between ten and fifteen minutes long.

1.  Your presentation shall begin with a cover slide showing your product and some summarizing key facts about it as well as the names of the members of your team and their roles.

2.  Your presentation shall include two to three history slides covering this question in the Quest.

3.  Your presentation shall include two to five slides on the chemicals in your product -- where they come from, chemical formula and diagram and their effect on the human body.

4.  Your presentation shall include two to five slides on the beneficial or harmful effects of your product on the human body.  Where a controversy exists, you may choose to take sides or to merely report the two opposing points of view.  Where appropriate, you may also choose to discuss the effect of your product on the environment.

5.  Your presentation shall include two to three slides on your new product, its formulation, name, demographic market etc.

6.  Your presentation shall include the resources you have used to make this presentation including web sites, text books, interviews etc.  You are to use standard MLA citation format.

SOME DOS AND DON'TS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION

Try to limit your slide to the 6 x 6 rule:  Six lines per slide, six words per line.  More information than that will bore the viewer

Do not use sound with your slides.

You may use animated "GIFS" as illustrations.

Avoid using animations and transitions such as dissolves etc. between slides.  They take up too much time and are not essential to the viewing of your presentation.  Audiences want you to get right to the point.

Avoid bright backgrounds which make it difficult to read your text.

Do not read from your slides to the audience.  Your slide should be a summary of your key points which you will elaborate from note cards.

Rehearse your presentation with all of your team members to be sure that you catch your audience's attention and that the information you have to deliver is well received.
