Multimedia in Presentations

Aligned to SL.7.5 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

What this lesson teaches

Images, charts, sound, and video can clarify claims and highlight your key points. Add multimedia that supports your message rather than distracts from it.

Worked example

Explaining that a lake shrank, you show two photos — one from 2000, one from today. The side-by-side images prove your point instantly, more clearly than describing the change in words.

Practice questions

  1. For a topic you could present, name one visual that would clarify your main point.
  2. Explain what a chart or photo would show that words alone could not.
  3. Decide where in a short talk you'd place that visual for the strongest effect.

Multimedia en presentaciones

Imágenes, gráficas, sonido y video pueden aclarar afirmaciones y resaltar tus puntos clave. Agrega multimedia que apoye tu mensaje en lugar de distraer.

Ejemplo: Al explicar que un lago se encogió, muestras dos fotos —una del 2000 y otra de hoy. Las imágenes lado a lado prueban tu punto al instante, más claro que describirlo.
