3rd Meeting: Our Group’s Least Favorite Subject

Last October 1, we are assigned to apply the 10-20-30 rule by preparing and perfoming a presentation. We are asked to present our least favorite subject. Mr Jhace facilitated us since Ms Olivar is not around. Our group presented first.


My groupmates are Ms Brien, CJ, Lyra and Justin. We picked the subject Chemistry since 4 outof 5 members were not much interested in the said subject. The presentation was divided into 5 parts for us to present every part. After out presentation, Mr Jhace gave us comments about the whole presentation from the contents to the deliveration. We learned so much from him. He gave us advice and other techniques on how to make ourselves  better in terms of presenting.

2nd Meeting: Rules and Tips in making a Presentation

Last September 24, 2018, Mr Jhace Domantay, our student teacher, performed his Final Demo. He discussed the basic rule in preparing a presentation. 

The guy Kawasaki's famous 10-20-30 rule of power point. 

A PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, the font size must use is not smaller than thirty. 

Ten slides

Ten is the optimal number of slides in a PowerPoint presentation because a normal human being cannot comprehend more than ten concepts in a meeting. Though ten slides seemed to be too few, your slide must contain fruitful and informative contents. You must maximize the use of every slide. You must include your PREP pattern within the given number of slides.

Twenty minutes

The whole presentation must last no longer than 20 minutes. The presentation must be an interesting, because the attention span of a human lasts only for 20 minutes. If the presentation is naturally long and full of explanation, you must be versatile enough to make different strategies to catch your audience attention and make them interested in your topic. 

Thirty points

The font size that you must use in preparing a presentation must be 30 points and above. One reason is for the people at the back may see the texts in the slide even though they are distant at the board. Another reason is to minimize the number of texts in the slide. 

Mr Domantay also give us 8 tips on making an awesome power point presentation
