1st - Continue Utopian writing project.
2nd - Read through page 55 in "Earnest" and have CPM's ready for Tuesday.
3rd - Discussion of what makes a good and a bad class presentation when using multi-media. Some rules to remember:
-Don't put too much text in one slide. Tons of text will make your audience's minds wander at best or fall asleep at worst. If you want to have lots of text on one slide, bring it in one bullet point at a time, discuss it as needed, then bring in the next point.
-Don't choose colors that can't be seen over the pictures. Black text over a black picture is nearly impossible to read. As is yellow on yellow, red on red, etc.
-Make sure your text is large enough to be seen by all. Tiny fonts are really anoying. This goes right back to having too many words on one screen. Split it up and use larger letters.
-Don't add too much pazazz. Really bright, or contrasting colors can be just as annoying or distracting as invisible colors. This goes for the backgrounds as well.
-Pick a theme or a color scheme and stick with it by and large. Don't have completely new backgrounds every slide. The goal is to enhance your presentation without drawing attention to all the extra flashy stuff. The focus should be on the message - NOT the method of presenting the message.
-FIVE SECOND RULE!!!!! DON'T flip through slides so fast nobody can process the pictures you are showning. Leave photos or other pics up on the screen for at least 5 seconds.
-Make sure you include a works cited page. This can just include the URL for this presentation, but you still need to give credit where it is due.
4th Per - Same as 3rd with computer time the last 15 minutes to work on presentations.
5th Per - Contine Maceth. Read through end of scene. No new reading for the night.
6th Per - Read silently or with a partner up to page 55. Contine C.P.M.'s
