Digital Media in Presentations
Aligned to SL.9-10.5 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
What this lesson teaches
Use images, audio, or data displays strategically in a presentation to deepen understanding and hold interest — not to decorate.
Worked example
Explaining traffic growth, a presenter shows a single animated graph rising year by year instead of reading numbers aloud, making the trend instantly clear.
Practice questions
- Choose one visual or audio element that would clarify a specific point.
- Explain how a graphic can replace a paragraph of spoken data.
- Describe when a slide adds nothing and should be cut.

Medios digitales en las presentaciones
Usa imágenes, audio o visualizaciones de datos de forma estratégica en una presentación para profundizar la comprensión y mantener el interés, no para decorar.
Ejemplo: Al explicar el aumento del tránsito, un presentador muestra una sola gráfica animada que sube año con año en vez de leer cifras en voz alta, y así la tendencia queda clara al instante.
