Observations on PPA Presentations

· Make sure your presentation is shareable with editing access

· Good identification of social problem with location

· Good use of alternative backgrounds/templates to make your presentation stand out and more enjoyable to view

· On title slide, include your name, school, etc…

· If using a title which doesn’t state the problem, create a sub-title that does

· Include slide which lists the 6 steps of the PPA, this will allow your students to get familiar with the process when they analyze another problem

· Make sure you don’t skip any steps (Step 4: Examine an Existing Policy, advantages and disadvantages)

· Make sure your proposed policies in Step 5 are specific policies and not goals

· Include Step 6; evaluating policies based on feasibility and effectiveness

· Include images/pictures/videos/hyperlinks into your slides to make them easier for younger students to understand

· Find real data on your problem, summarize if not in an accessible form

· Include opportunities for students to interact by asking them questions or having them brainstorm

· Add slide transitions and/or animation
