Your task is to create a five minute presentation supported by PowerPoint slides.

Select one of the following topics for your presentation:

• a new loss prevention policy
• a new promotional strategy
• a new cash handling policy

If you wish do present on a different topic you must first get permission from your instructor.

Your PowerPoint presentation should have a minimum of 4 slides: a title page, content slides, and conclusion.You will present your visual essay to the class. Please email the instructor a copy before class on the due date. You will also post your presentation in the discussion board for your classmates to provide feedback.

Part 2: Peer Feedback

Choose at least two of your classmates’ presentations to review. You will review both their slides and their presentation, so make sure to take notes during your peers’ presentations! You will write feedback (minimum 150 words) for each classmate based on the following questions:

• Does the speaker read each slide verbatim or include additional information than the content on the slides?
• Do they have the minimum number of required slides?
• Is there presentation the required length? (5 minutes +/− 30 seconds)?
• How is the speakers volume, speed of speech, and clarity?
• What is successful or unsuccessful about layout and look of the slides?
• Are there any grammatical or spelling errors in the slides?
