Create a Simple Presentation

Using Slide Maker, a pretend presentation app, learners find out that a presentation is a set of slides shown in order, each with one main idea. They design clear slides (short title, few words, a picture that fits, big text, strong contrast), put slides in order from title to ending, and practise presenting by talking to the audience instead of reading every word.
