The first thing that jumped out at me was the ability to change fonts and font sizes on the Slide Master. Changes made in the Slide Master will apply to all slides throughout the entire presentation. This eliminates the need to format each slide, and will help free up time for the creator to focus on the material they want to cover in the presentation. Powerpoint also has a setting called AutoFit, which I found helpful. This setting forces a reduction in the size of the text when the user types more words in each text box than it will hold.

Speeches are used to commemorate points of history, and inform the general public of the product of their history but what makes a speech so impacting on it’s audience? Rhetorical devices give speeches and works of literature a way that can convey feelings or ideas to a viewer. When addressing during times of war or chaos, people such as Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill used these terms to better connect with their audience.

Comment on your own performance. How did it go? What could have gone better? Overall, I think my group and I executed a successful final performance on stage. I think we communicated the theme of our dance to our audience very well by using the five elements of dance (relationship, body, energy, space, and time) effectively.
