Powerpoint presentation

For those of you who critiqued my presentation, thanks. I like getting anything that might help to make it better. :)

I'm glad you liked my show. I was trying to make it really colorful so it would stand out. Part of the reason why it was so colorful and intriguing looking was because my audience was meant more to be elementary and middle school aged kids. When I was making the presentation I noticed that some of the slides would be more difficult to read than others, but i thought the graphics made it a lot more interesting than looking at a bunch of words. "A picture is worth a thousand words." All young kids have A.D.D. and need something really exciting to look at, especially if they have to sit through a presentation. I tried being enthusiastic to keep the audience interested and it seemed to work from what I got back from the feed back. I'm sorry about the talking really fast part. I was trying to make in the 5 minutes that we were allotted. If I were actually going to present this to kids, I would have added more slides and info in it. I would have also talked slower. But for the sake of not taking up a whole class period, I tried adding in as much detail in as few words as possible. I also made it more so that the audience would see the main points on the powerpoint presentation and I would go into more detail on them while talking. As for saying "basically" a million, I always seem to pick a "comfort word" whenever I'm doing a presentation. I try not to, but I always manage to do it. I try not to make it "like" since that can get rather obnoxious rather quickly. I also tried not to make it "umm" either because that makes it seem like I have no idea what I'm talking about. I did realize I was saying "basically" a lot after a while, but I couldn't keep myself from saying it.
