 Outline
 Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of
your presentation
Ex: previous slide

 Follow the order of your outline for the

rest of the presentation

 Only place main points on the outline slide

Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
 Slide Structure – Good
 Use 1-2 slides per minute of your
presentation
 Write in point form, not complete
sentences
 Include 4-5 points per slide
 Avoid wordiness: use key words and
phrases only
 Slide Structure - Bad
 Thispage contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point
form, making it difficult both for your
audience to read and for you to present each
point. Although there are exactly the same
number of points on this slide as the
previous slide, it looks much more
complicated. In short, your audience will
spend too much time trying to read this
paragraph instead of listening to you.
 Slide Structure – Good
 Show one point at a time:
Will help audience concentrate on what
you are saying
Will prevent audience from reading
ahead
Will help you keep your presentation
focused
 Slide Structure - Bad

 Do not use distracting animation

 Donot go overboard with the

animation

 Beconsistent with the animation that

you use
 Fonts - Good
 Use at least an 18-point font

 Usedifferent size fonts for main points and

secondary points
thisfont is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point,
and the title font is 36-point

 Use a standard font like Times New Roman or

Arial
 Fonts - Bad
 If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have
written

 CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY.

IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ

 Don’t use a complicated font

 Colour - Good
 Usea colour of font that contrasts
sharply with the background
Ex: blue font on white background
 Usecolour to reinforce the logic of your
structure
Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
 Use colour to emphasize a point
But only use this occasionally
 Colour - Bad
 Using a font colour that does not contrast
with the background colour is hard to read
 Using colour for decoration is distracting
and annoying.
 Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary
Using a different colour for secondary points is
also unnecessary
 Trying to be creative can also be bad
 Background - Good
 Usebackgrounds such as this one
that are attractive but simple

 Use backgrounds which are light

 Usethe same background

consistently throughout your
presentation
 Background – Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting
or difficult to read from
Always be consistent with the
background that you use
 Graphs - Good
 Usegraphs rather than just charts and
words
Data in graphs is easier to comprehend &
retain than is raw data
Trends are easier to visualize in graph
form

 Always title your graphs

 Graphs - Good

 Spelling and Grammar
 Proof your slides for:
speling mistakes
the use of of repeated words
grammatical errors you might have make

 IfEnglish is not your first language, please

have someone else check your
presentation!
 Conclusion
 Use an effective and strong closing
Your audience is likely to remember
your last words

 Use a conclusion slide to:

Summarize the main points of your
presentation
Suggest future avenues of research
 Questions??
 Endyour presentation with a simple
question slide to:
Inviteyour audience to ask questions
Provide a visual aid during question
period
Avoid ending a presentation abruptly

 What is Global
Warming?

It is the heating of
the earth due to
presence of
Greenhouse
gases.
 Heating up of Earth

Sun

Solar Radiative
Cooling

Energy
How Global Warming Works

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)

 Example of the
Greenhouse Effect
The Sun’s energy
passes through the
car’s windshield.

This energy (heat)

is trapped inside
the car and cannot
pass back through
the windshield,
causing the inside
of the car to warm
up.
Effects of Global Warming
Rising Sea Level Increased Temperature

Habitat Damage and

Changes in Water Supply

happening?
•Due to population
•Deforestation
•Release of CFCs

What can you do to help
solve the problem?
Simple T hings To Do
 Turn off your computer or the TV
 when you’re not using it.

 Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.

 Keep rooms cool by closing the blinds, shades, or

 curtains.

 Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

 Use compact fluorescent bulbs.

Simple Things To Do
 Dress lightly when it’s hot instead of turning
up the air conditioning. Or use a fan.
 Dress warmly when it’s cold instead of turning
 up the heat.
 Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on
 your AC and furnace clean.
 Walk short distances instead of asking for a
 ride in the car.

 Plant a tree.
Recycle.
At the
End I conclude that we all should come
forward to stop
Global Warming
