We Started the Lesson by Evaluating Ms Freear’s Presentation That She Used for the Sixth Form Opening Evening. As A Class We Agreed That the Presentation Was Very Bland and plain In addition to the appearance of the presentation we also discussed what parts of information was needed, what we would add in and what we take out of the PowerPoint.

 We Thought About The Purpose And Audience That Mrs.Freear Was Trying To Target And If She Did Or Did Not Reach That Target.

We Then Did A 30 Second Introduction To The Presentation The Way We Would Say It Using Creativity And Originality. I Then Discussed With The Rest Of The Class What Parts Of The PowerPoint I Would Take And Why. Doing This Made Us Change the Way We Looked at the Presentation and transformed it into That Would Keep the Point Of View at Interest of Both Year 11 Students and Parents That Have to listen to this and Wouldn’t Loose Interest.

I Think the Point of That Task Was To Give A Understanding Of How The Appearance Of Our Presentation Can Make A lot Of Difference When Trying to Keep the Attention of the Audience in addition to trying to give them as much information as they need. Doing This Made Me Realise That You Need Paragraphs Of Writing On A Slide To Get Your Point Across But Just A Couple Bullet Points And Pictures And Explain The Rest In The Speech Element.

 Now Because I Have Seen A PowerPoint On The Same Subject That I Want To Advertise I Now Have An Understanding About My Layout, Pieces Of Information And Things That I Am Going Say. The Skill That I Have Learnt Today Is That Presentational Appearance Makes A Big Difference.
