Power Point

A power point presentation should follow the same pattern as the report, with some changes that would make it easier to follow.

·         Remember that only about 20% of your information should be on your slides

·         This is a summary, not the entire project

·         You do not need a table of contents, abstract, bibliography, or appendix

·         You are encouraged to summarize your background information, procedures, and conclusion with a few bullet points rather lots of details

·         Remember that if people want to get more information about your project, they will read your report

·         Be creative, but don’t be distracting (images are powerful – too many make it cluttered)

Display Board

Follow the same general principles listed in the Power Point section.

Scrapbook

A scrapbook should follow the same pattern as the report, but it should be a fun and shortened version.

·         Remember that only about 20% of your information should be on your pages

·         This is a summary, not the entire project

·         You do not need a table of contents, abstract, bibliography, or appendix

Wiki (or other web page project)

·         You do not need an abstract, bibliography, or appendix, but a list of the different pages as links will be helpful for navigating the site – make links back to the home page, as well

·         You are encouraged to summarize your background information, procedures, and conclusion with a few bullet points rather lots of details

·         Remember that if people want to get more information about your project, they will read your report
