Editing Session

Editing Session for Powerpoint

Today you will pick a partner and edit his/her work. Read the example of the editing comments below. Make sure you comment, IN COMPLETE SENTENCES, on each individual slide. You will also write a conclusion or have an OVERALL COMMENT section at the end. Your word document should look something like this:

The Myserious Life of Luisa Blanco

Slide #1--Title Slide: I like your use of color on this slide. I also like your chosen graphic.
Slide #2--Your Likes: Nice work! You have just enough writing for notes, not paragraphs. Again your graphics are nice.
Slide #3--Lifelong Friends: This is a good idea for a slide! Again, good use of color. However, a few of your graphics are a little too large. Maybe think about placing them better on the page.
Slide #4--Dislikes: I like this slide, but maybe a more logical order would be to have it follow directly after the Likes Slide. Also, the sound may be a little distracting. It seems like it will go on as you are talking.
Slide #5--Favorite Places: Awesome Slide! Watch your spelling though! It is "Paris" not Pearis :)
Slide #6--Favorite Foods: Yummy stuff. Wait! You forgot a graphic! Ms. Haney said at least one graphic on every page!
Slide #7--Credits: I like that you added a credits slide. And this includes the necessary animation Ms. Haney asked for.
Overall: I also looked over the list of things we needed to include in the presentation, Luisa, and you seem to do everything quite well. Make sure you include the transitions in between slides so you are able to speak directly from it.
