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.
