Student Directions:
You and your partner have been asked to create a sales promotional presentation for a product from a lucrative firm. You will be asked to give the presentation to the board of directors. Within the presentation they will ask you to produce 15 slides of textual information which does not include the title slide. They will also ask you to follow the 7 by 5 rule which is no more than seven words per line and no more than five lines per slide. They will also require that you have at least five different backgrounds. Another requirement will be at least 10 pictures or clip art that relate to the content of the slide, but both will have to be used somewhere within the presentation. The speech to go along with the presentation must be at least three minutes and not longer than five minutes. Each partner will have an equal part in the speech. If after two days of work, you do not feel that your partner is pulling his/her share of the weight, you will have the option of divorcing your partner and doing the project on your own for your own grade. The grades will be shared except for the daily participation points assigned by the board director.
