Group Slides Show Drafts examined...

I have looked at the slides show drafts. Here some things that everyone must remember to take care, when constructed your slide show

1. 15 - 40 words per minimum. Turn wordy slides into two slides, and edit large blocks of text down to size, to the key points.

2. For each picture you use,
a. it must cover about half of the slide.
b. It should relate to the slide's details in the text.
c. When using a culturally specific image that is not familiar to the general viewer, write a short caption that tells the viewer what the image is.
d. Also, it is not necessary to show the entire student assignment or downloaded image, such as a timeline. I strongly suggest that you crop the image and enlarge the image to show close up details from a map, a graphic, or events on the timeline (same effect as zooming in).
e. Image placement should be moved around from left to right, and top and bottom. Images should not always reside in the same space on each slide. Mix it up a bit.

3. I know there is slide minimum, around 20 slides, but this is not a maximum. Your team must also convey a number of areas about your culture in order to do well on the final assignment:
a. Medieval history - time period, key events, important historical figures
b. Arts, Food, Architecture, Literature and other expressions of traditional culture from the Medieval time period, if possible, or at least what is considered the traditional culture.
c. Modern events from the 20th century.
As a result, some groups may actually develop 30 or 40 slides in order to convey enough information to cover these three areas sufficiently without trying to convey an encyclopedia about your culture.

4. The order of the slides should be grouped together to explore one major idea at a time.

5. Your group must carefully edit and make all corrections in capitalization, grammar, and spelling.
