Healthy Teen Living Presentation


In lesson four we learned how to get design templates from the internet, insert sound and videos, hyperlinks, and action buttons. The design templates from the internet are very helpful. They give you a way to have a more creative powerpoint and not use the same old boring tempaltes, that are used by everyone else. Inserting the videos and sounds is very easy and helps you to present your powerpoint in a more interesting way. The hyperlinks can take you to another slide or they can take you to the internet. The action buttons mainly is used to take you to the next slide, last slide, or first slide. In all of the lessons so far we have learned things that help make our slides more interesting.

Copyright Powerpoint


In lesson three of powerpoints I learned how to do many things on powerpoint that helped it look more interseting and neat. Some of these things are slide master, transistions, animations, outline view and other things. Slide master is very useful, because it lets you put things on the first slide such as a header, footer, or picture and it will go on all the slides. Transitions help you move your slides in a smooth attractive way, and the animations give it more style. These are jsut a few things that I am really glad I learned in powerpoint, becuase they will help me create effective powerpoints in the future.

Know Your Audience

This is about someone who is giving a presentation about their comic book collection to an art class at a local community college. It explains that no matter if you are writing-a presentation, report, letter, or a memo, you need to know the needs of the particular audience. You need to find out who your audience will be and the types of questions they may ask. Also be sure that you leave enough time for questions at the end of your presentation.
·         Who will read or see this piece of writing
·         What do I want them to know
·         What background do they bring
·         What do I want this piece of writing or presentation to accomplish
It is good to understand your audience because you don’t want to bore them and you wan to be sure you give the information in a way they understand.
