PowerPoint presentations are a very effective way of describing a particular topic and this is an important part of a student's academic life. Discussions and talks are all very good, but a PowerPoint presentation is much better. The topics for such presentations are as varied as the courses in an academic career, but the more prevalent ones are usually scientific and social studies subjects.
. Literature and the performing and fine arts are also popular topics. The PowerPoint presentation needs a set of skills; this includes writing, proper analysis of the subject, research and finally the organization of the subject matter in a well-designed, logical and methodical manner.Besides science and studies, another interesting subject for PowerPoint presentations is history. It lends itself to this kind of presentation as it has reliable data, is interesting, and divided into periods. Students can research on a specific period in history to arrange a 12-15 slide presentation with the requisite graphics. The presentation can have sound effects, together with visuals of the era. Historical topics are abundant, ranging from wars, natural disasters to ceremonial events and students find them fascinating.Literature is a wonderful subject, as a student can create a PowerPoint presentation on the life of a novelist or poet or even on the creative oeuvre of a particular writer. A specific novel like Charles Dickens' David Copperfield is a rich topic with great potential for a PowerPoint presentation. Research would yield an abundant amount of information, which the student arranges into slides. A recorded voiceover that describes the literary work adds to the appeal of the presentation.Vignettes of academic life are another area that is interesting and would be an addition to the memorabilia when education is completed and a student embarks on a career. This could be about friends, the activities at school or college, the games played and the social events of the season.j
