back to top PowerPoint Presentation: Ben Canning, "Health Is Golden" Ben Canning's presentation on the importance of a healthy lifestyle is both an excellent model of a persuasive argument and an example of how to present an argument before an audience. Ben designed his PowerPoint slides using images that augment, rather than simply reiterate, the results of his study. And by practicing in front of a video camera, Ben perfected his delivery, stage presence, and relationship with the audience. Check out the video clip below to observe Ben's presentation skills in action as he presents his visually dynamic PowerPoint project to his class. Download Ben Canning's PowerPoint Presentation

Jessica chose to focus on the famed children's author Dr. Seuss. She began her project by researching Dr. Seuss to learn more about his life and his books. Next, Jessica turned her attention to creating the script for her radio essay. First, she freewrote to generate ideas; then she carefully refined her writing. After finalizing the script, Jessica considered what audio elements to add to bring the essay to life in the medium of sound and eventually decided to format the essay's introduction as a back-and-forth dialogue between two people. Jessica then recorded and edited her essay on a computer, using a digital sound-editing program. Listen to Jessica Thrower's Radio Essay (mp3)
