Mini Lesson
A slide presentation is a set of digital slides used to share information with an audience. Each slide usually focuses on one main idea. Programs like Google Slides, Microsoft PowerPoint, and LibreOffice Impress let you create and show presentations.
Parts of a Slide
- Title — the name or heading of the slide. It tells the audience what the slide is about.
- Key point — the most important piece of information on the slide. Keep it short and clear.
- Image idea — a description of a picture, photo, or diagram that supports your key point.
- Presenter note — a reminder of what you will say aloud. The audience does not see this part.
Tips for a Great Presentation
- Use large text so the audience can read it from the back of the room.
- Put only one key idea on each slide — do not crowd too many words onto one slide.
- Choose a simple, clean design so your words stand out.
- Practice reading your presenter notes so you can speak confidently.
- Look at your audience while you speak, not just at the screen.
💡
A good rule: no more than 6 words per bullet point on a slide. Use your presenter notes for the details.
