Trouble in the Pass:2003 Crowsnest Fire Revised Powerpoint

Crowsnest Powerpoint Adaptations

I made several changes to the original powerpoint presentation. I added an outline and summary slide to better organize the data. Likewise, I reduced the amount of information on the slides. I took out excess information, and utilized point form instead of paragraphs. I added additional slides to space out the information and catagorized it in meaningful ways (ex. ecological benefits, positive and negative outcomes etc). I made certain to contrast the background and the font color to make it easier to read. I used a consistent style throughout every slide. Each slide contains a title, and the font is Times New Roman. Titles were always in font 36, with each additional subpoint being 28 then 24 consecutively. I double checked the spelling as well. One of the biggest drawbacks to my presentation is apparent when considering printed handouts. Normally, a good rule of thumb is utilizing a light background and dark font. In this case, the background would need to be removed in order to read the handouts more easily.

Personal Introduction

I am currently a student studying in the faculty of Education at the University of Lethbridge. I have a passion for English, Drama, Psychology and Science. Outside of class, I stay busy with three jobs. I work as a youth crisis counselor, a child support counselor, and as an independent distributer for a nutritional company. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my 6 month old puppy Miles, viewing live theatre, and spending time with friends. I am a dual citizen (Canadian and Dutch) and love to learn more about different cultures around the world. I have been to the Netherlands, United States of America, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. I would like to visit Italy, and Greece for the theatre history in those areas.
