You are going to be a fabulous singing group.

Sing your way to good English Pronunciation! You and three other students will form a singing group. Go to the Internet and complete the project "Getting to Know You."
Fill in the missing focus words below. This is your model for your own presentation.
Next, pick a popular song on the Internet U tube, and find the words (lyrics). Copy the lyrics onto a word document, and find the focus word in each line. Remove the words and leave a blank space. Make 11 copies of your handout (one for each student and me), and then play or sing your song to the class, and have them fill in the missing words.

A good Powerpoint Presentation- 10/20/30 Rule

10/20/30 Presentation Rule
This is the 10/20/30 presentation rule by Guy Kawasaki in his recent book "The Art of the Start."
Guy Kawasaki is a managing director of Garage Technology Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm and a columnist for Entrepreneur Magazine. Previously, he was an Apple Fellow at Apple Computer, Inc. Guy is the author of eight books including The Art of the Start, Rules for Revolutionaries, How to Drive Your Competition Crazy, Selling the Dream, and The Macintosh Way. He has a BA from Stanford University and an MBA from UCLA as well as an honorary doctorate from Babson College.

Ten Slides

The purpose of the pitch is to stimiulate interest, not to close the deal. Thus, the recommended number of slides for a pitch is 10 slides or so. This forces to you concentrate on the absolute essentials. You can add a few more but never exceeding 20 slides. The fewer slides you need, the more compelling your idea.

Twenty Minutes

Your presentation should only be 20 minutes long because you want ot leave ample time for discussion.

Thiry-Point-Font-Text

Your slide should have 30pt font text size. If you use a small font to accommodate your material, you'er putting too much detail on the slide. Each slide should portray one primary point. All the text and bullets should support this point. Use slides to lead, not read. They should paraphrase and enhance what's coming out of your mouth. People can read faster than you can talk, if you put too much detail on the slide, the audience will read ahead of you and not listen to what you're saying.
