Explanation

A presentation program is a tool for sharing ideas and opinions with an audience. A presentation is made of slides. For each slide you can choose a size (standard or wide), a style that gives colours and fonts, and add pictures, text boxes and drawn shapes. Animation can move words and shapes, but use it sparingly, because too much movement is tiring. Graphics should be clear and easy to read. A classroom guide called the 10-20-30 rule says: up to ten slides, up to twenty minutes, and letters not smaller than size thirty. It is a helpful guide and not a law. Before printing, save a copy as a PDF, a file type that keeps the layout the same. A review mode lets you read through the text and layout. Is presenting an opinion in slides different from sharing it on social media? Slides are planned and checked, and the audience listens to you; there is time to give reasons.

Too much on a slide. Karim puts a long paragraph in tiny letters and five moving pictures on one slide. The audience cannot read it. He changes it to one big title, three short points and one clear picture.
Using the guide. Habiba has twenty minutes and ten slides. She does the sum 20 ÷ 10 = 2, so she plans about two minutes for each slide.

A PDF copy. Before printing, Salma saves a PDF copy of her slides. The pictures and words stay where she put them, even if she prints on another device.
Class activity

Slide doctor. Draw one crowded slide (too many words, tiny letters, many pictures). Beside it draw a better version with one big title, three short points and one clear picture. Then write the 10-20-30 rule from memory and decide: how many minutes for each slide if you have 10 slides and 20 minutes?
