POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS

For my Powerpoint Presentation, I decided to narrow down the field of English to the Modern Novel because it is one of my favorite eras of literature and something I have learned a lot about in my lit classes recently. I think I should have given a more definite time frame for the genre, although the list of authors adequately depicts the era if you have any previous knowledge of them and most people have read something by at least one of them. I also might have spent a bit more time explaining the drastic changes that take place in the Modern Novel. Overall though, I think I adequately expressed everything that I wanted to about the subject. One of my favorite PowerPoints was Leslie's because it was incredibly visually interesting and that coincided well with her topic. All of her visuals were incredibly well integrated and interesting in their arrangement on the slide. My other favorite powerpoint was Matthew Keath's not only because of the subject matter that I greatly enjoyed and appreciated, but also because in contrast to Leslie's, his was visually neutral and simplistic. I feel that both of these extremes function very well in Powerpoints as long as they are well organized and integrated.
