Death By PowerPoint Comprehension Questions
I am currently trying to improve the general standard of presentations my students at Martino Martini Social Sciences school, it’s not as easy a task as you’d think! 
To try to help them out a little I’m going to show them the “Death By PowerPoint” presentation by Alexei Kapterev.
As the presentation is quite long, I wondered whether the students would remember all the important information while I go through the presentation with them. In the end I’ve decided to talk through the presentation once, and answer a few simple questions. Then I’ll ask the students to look at it again themselves on the Slideshare site. To help them with this, I’ve written a short worksheet for the students to work through as they read.
I hope you find it handy! You can download your own copy here.
All the best,
Seth

This is really helpful and interesting! Thanks
Very cool Seth, I have this presentation embedded in my Ning for adult learners – their task was to create their own presentations following the guidelines as laid out within DbP – I will embed your worksheet below it as an optional task for them to do if they wish!
Thanks muchly,
Karenne
Hey there Karenne and Soad,
Glad that you found the worksheet useful
I’m getting my own students to do a Ppt following the guidelines here, too Karenne. Hope they’ll come out well. They’re only 1st year high school students so at the moment they’re right into the crazy word art, mad flying animations and crazy colour schemes. Eek!

Thanks, Seth! I like your handout.
