INSTRUCTIONS
Your PowerPoint presentation should be based off a SINGLE CHAPTER from Sport in American Life

brief introduction that provides the audience with a frame of reference of the overall theme of the
chapter and end with a strong conclusion slide.
Keep your visuals clear and simple.
Use simple graphics, charts, and diagrams wherever possible.
Avoid using too many colors, patterns, and graphics in one frame.
Use a minimum of words for text and title frames.
Upper and lower-case lettering is more legible than all capital letters.
Avoid using more than two font sizes per frame.
Try to maintain the same or similar font size from frame to frame.
Contrasting use of color is best.
Keep color schemes consistent throughout the presentation.
Graphics – Photographs, graphs and illustrations of artwork are excellent means of
communicating complex ideas, providing that they are meaningful and relevant.
Each graphic should be cited and documented on the slide with the graphic as well as its
source on the final reference slide.
All material should be presented in APA format, including but not limited to the title
slide, material should be cited if appropriate and it is encouraged to write in your own
words as much as possible.
Note: Your assignments will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool. The
tool is a starting point for instructors to check overall Academic Integrity and higher scores
generally indicate a higher probability of Academic Misconduct. The higher a score the
higher the probability that there are too high a percentage of quotations included in the
narrative, and/or there are passages that have not been properly cited.
