1. Research Project Tips

2. Organizing Your Project
 Make a new folder to hold items for your project.
 As you research, collect pictures, important facts,
website addresses on a word document in your
project folder. Be sure to save the website
addresses for your facts! You must state your
sources on the last slide of your presentation.
 Don’t use unreliable websites such as ask.com,
etc. Anyone can post answers on these sites!

3. PowerPoint Tips
 Do all your research first before starting your
PowerPoint presentation!
 Plan out your slides in advance.
 Don’t put too much information on a slide. (only
two or three facts per slide) Don’t CUT AND
PASTE the information! Use your own words!
Read your research and restate what you want
to say in your own words!
 Don’t add too many sounds, transitions, or too
much clutter on your slides that take away from
your presentation. Ask yourself, “does this help
to explain my topic?” If the answer is “no” then
leave it out of the presentation.
