APowerPoint presentation should begin with a title slide that has a “WOW” factor. The remaining slides should include some of the charts from the spreadsheet as well as scanned or imported images and at least one video clip of the city or a tourist attraction located there. It should also take advantage of the customization features, such as, speaker notes, automatic slide timing, use of master slide, background color scheme, recoloring and editing objects, original backgrounds, evidence of a theme, evidence of the purpose, links to other slides, hidden slides, and voice over recording. The presentation should contain a minimum of 10 slides, with a maximum of 12, make sure all graphics used are non-pixilated, demonstrate the appropriate use of white space, smooth transitions, creativity and originality, and must not contain any clip art or word art.
