You know this is ironic, right?
First, in small groups, compare slides and choose a winner–the representative who gets to show his/her 4 slides to the full groups for a workshop critique. Some questions to consider:
- Is the initial impact powerful without being overly cluttered or garish?
- What do the images convey on a emotional/visceral level?
- Are the choices for font, color, and text flow sound and effective?
Other Gar Reynolds advice is here.
Next, we’ll talk a bit about the write-up. I’m looking for about a page of reflection that explains your thinking on the following questions:
- Kairos: How have you adapted your presentation to be effective for this group at this time in this situation?
- What sources have you chosen? How do you know they are both reliable and persuasive?
- What images have you chosen? Give me source info and a bit of your thinking on why you used them?
- What data will you reference? Why is it reliable and how will you present it?
Finally, let’s move our eyes back and forth and design a slide. I’ll give you time to work in class and I’ll try and help individual students.
