11th Grade Keynote Poem Project

ATTENTION METHOD KEYNOTE POEM PROJECT
You
will be creating a short animated and recorded Keynote presentation
which exemplifies the Attention Method. DO NOT spend too much time
choosing a poem. This is meant to be a short assignment to teach you a
few crucial skills you will need to do your Grad Portfolio
presentations in Attention Method style.
You must demonstrate mastery of the following skills:

1. Using a formal and inobtrusive theme, and using the centered master slides
2. Writing a script and noting where pictures and word slides will appear
3. Using the Magic Move & Anagram slide transition correctly
4. Using other tasteful transitions to emphasize readability and comprehension
5. Creating a presentation in Attention Method style
6. Using Background images/ semi-transparent shapes to create depth
   

What's the "Attention Method" again?

• Every moment of the speech is scripted
• All words and slides are timed to coincide and enhance one another.
  
• Using the "Title-Center" Keynote slide Master
  
• Having one word per slide to emphasize the main point of what you're saying
• NO. BULLETS. EVER.
  
• Using lots of slides, only a few seconds each, to reinforce what you're saying
• Use images which clarify ideas or provoke a reaction, then take them down when you're done
  

Your Assignment:
Choose
a short poem [quickly!] or use one of your own. Content is not as
important as mastery of the skills. Annotate the poem in the way I
demonstrated (bold for word slides, [p] for "put a picture here") and create a keynote which follows your plan. Some poem selections are below.

12th Grade> Grad Portfolio Keynote Presentation Requirements

ESGP Keynote Requirements:
1.    Balance between minimal and dense approaches (How much text is appropriate/necessary on the slide?)
2.    Presentation should emphasize and support, not detract from, or be, the oral defense. (it is not a media exhibition or presentation)
3.    Words and images are used skillfully to clarify ideas, not to present them.
4.    The student presenter leads and guides the presentation.  The presentation does not guide the presenter.
5.    Clear cues about introduction, body (artifacts), and conclusion of presentation.
6.    Fonts, colors, and transitions support and are appropriate to the task. The presentation must be professional in appearance and application, such as you would find at a conference, or dissertation.
7.    Show abstract ideas (if any) visually and these must be integral to the defense of learning being put forth.
8.    The number of slides must be appropriate.
9.    Remember – The Keynote is a presentation tool.
