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:
- Using a formal and inobtrusive theme, and using the centered master slides
- Writing a script and noting where pictures and word slides will appear
- Using the Magic Move & Anagram slide transition correctly
- Using other tasteful transitions to emphasize readability and comprehension
- Creating a presentation in Attention Method style
- 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.
