Email the PowerPoint to yourself. Less time is wasted this way. If you are afraid it will not open on the classroom computer, try this in advance. You must be able to present during your designated time slot. If you arrive late you must wait until you hear applause to enter the classroom. Additionally, do not leave the room during a presentation. Proofread your slides and consider a visit to the Writing Center. Since this presentation counts as a paper, I will deduct for errors. The A presentations will be creative and include interesting graphics such as film clips, photos, book covers, and other pertinent graphics. Extra credit for those created as web pages.
