Pep Talk to Grade 12 TOK students
Your audience will read your slides faster than you talk.
Never, ever, ever, put word-for-word what you are saying, instead use strong visuals to help
add to your story, and not to give it away before it comes out of your mouth
Ideally, I would eliminate 90% of this text in a face-to-
face presentation
When someone puts all their text in a presentation, I say to myself….
What is the point of being here…! just email me your
presentation and I will read it later

Get your text right
Text is ok at times if you are focusing on your main points, or wish to add particular
emphasis.
Think about how you add text in relation to images.
Choose appropriate colours, match fonts, and think carefully about
size and order of importance.
