(2) SEC 10-K Power Point Presentation: 6 slides plus a cover slide and a works cited slide. This presentation will be based on your SEC 10-K paper and will allow your classmates and me to see highlights of your paper. Remember a good Power Point presentation does not include paragraphs of information. Graphics, tables, and analysis may be presented.
Information on the PPT portion of the Writing Assignment

1) A PPT presentation captures the highlights of what you wish to present to your audience. It does not include paragraphs of information, but should be able to tell a story on its own – it is more than a summary, but less than an actual written assignment

2) Tables, graphs, charts can add to the presentation, but ensure they are labeled properly.

3) Dollar amounts should have a “$” and percentage amounts should be displayed with a “%” Two decimal places work well –

4) You can have a cover slide, and/or an agenda slide; you can also have a conclusion or summary slide and end with “Any Questions” and a works cited slide should be included as appropriate

5) No doubt you have been in classes where professors have utilized PPT in their lecture. Use what you like about those presentations; avoid what you disliked. Animation works well, but everyone doesn’t have the same experience base, so don’t worry if you don’t know how to do this – same holds true for music or video enhancements. Add some color where appropriate

6) Capture the highlights of your research and analysis, and consolidate / condense your information in PPT
