In Addition To Your CLA2 Report, Prepare A Professional Powe ✓ Solved
In addition to your CLA2 report, prepare a professional Powe
In addition to your CLA2 report, prepare a professional PowerPoint presentation (minimum 15 slides) summarizing your CLA2 findings. Use content from your CLA2 report and include learning outcomes from PA1, CLA1, PA2, and CLA2. Include an agenda, executive summary, and references slide(s). Follow the professor's PPT format and include the presentation script (as speaker notes or separate document).
Paper For Above Instructions
Executive summary
This document provides a structured plan and full slide-level blueprint for producing a 15+-slide professional PowerPoint that summarizes CLA2 findings, integrates learning outcomes from PA1, CLA1, PA2, and CLA2, and includes an agenda, executive summary, references, and a complete presentation script (speaker notes). The plan follows best practices in slide design, learning-outcome alignment, accessibility, and oral delivery to maximize clarity and assessment readiness (Reynolds, 2008; Duarte, 2008).
Objectives and deliverables
Primary deliverables: (1) A PowerPoint file following the professor’s format with a minimum of 15 slides; (2) Speaker notes for each slide (embedded in the PPT or a separate Word file); (3) A references slide(s) formatted to the professor’s citation expectations; (4) A short checklist confirming inclusion of agenda, executive summary, learning-outcomes mapping, and accessible design. The presentation will use content from the CLA2 report and explicitly map the learning outcomes from PA1, CLA1, PA2, and CLA2 to specific slides (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005; Bloom, 1956).
Slide-by-slide blueprint (15 slides minimum)
Below is a recommended slide sequence with concise notes for content and speaker script cues. Use professor-supplied template for typography, logo placement, and color palette.
Slide 1: Title slide
Content: Project title, student name, course, date, instructor, CLA2 label. Speaker note: One-sentence opening and purpose statement (Duarte, 2008).
Slide 2: Agenda
Content: Bulleted agenda items — Executive Summary, Methods, Key Findings, Analysis, Recommendations, Learning Outcomes, Q&A. Speaker note: Briefly preview flow (Reynolds, 2008).
Slide 3: Executive summary
Content: 3–4 short bullets summarizing the main finding, implication, and top recommendation. Speaker note: 30–45 second pitch of the whole CLA2 report (Mayer, 2009).
Slide 4: Purpose & scope
Content: Research question(s), scope, and intended audience. Speaker note: Clarify boundaries and what was/was not included (Biggs, 2003).
Slide 5: Methods / approach
Content: Methods summary, data sources, analytical techniques. Use a simple visual or iconography. Speaker note: One-sentence rationale per method (Mayer, 2009).
Slide 6–8: Key findings (3 slides)
Content: One major finding per slide with a succinct headline, 2–3 evidence bullets, and a chart or visual. Speaker note: Explain significance and data support for each finding (Tufte, 2003).
Slide 9: Synthesis / analysis
Content: Integrate findings; show cause-effect or implication map. Speaker note: Highlight what the findings mean collectively (Kosslyn, 2007).
Slide 10: Recommendations (2 slides)
Content: Prioritized recommendations, implementation steps, expected outcomes and timeline. Speaker note: Emphasize feasibility and metrics for success (Reynolds, 2008).
Slide 11: Risk & limitations
Content: Key limitations and mitigation strategies. Speaker note: Demonstrate critical reflection (Brown et al., 2014).
Slide 12: Learning outcomes mapping
Content: Table or bullets mapping each learning outcome from PA1, CLA1, PA2, and CLA2 to specific evidence in the CLA2 report and to slide numbers. Example: “PA1 LO1 → slide 5: method validated by X” (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005).
Slide 13: Learning outcomes — reflections
Content: Short reflective bullets on what was learned and how it informs professional practice. Speaker note: Link classroom outcomes to practical skills (Bloom, 1956).
Slide 14: Next steps / action plan
Content: Concrete next actions, owners, and timelines. Speaker note: Call to action.
Slide 15: References
Content: All sources cited in the PPT in required citation style. Speaker note: Offer to provide full reference list in handout.
Slide 16: Q&A / Thank you
Content: Contact details and prompt for questions. Speaker note: 1–2 closing sentences and invitation for discussion.
Speaker notes and script
For each slide provide 30–90 words of speaker notes: an opening line, 1–2 explanatory bullets, and a closing transition sentence. Embed these in the PPT speaker notes pane or include as a separate Word document titled “CLA2_Presentation_Script.docx.” Write the script in plain language, timed to 1–2 minutes per slide for a 15–30 minute presentation (Reynolds, 2008; Duarte, 2008).
Learning outcomes mapping approach
Create a concise mapping table that lists: learning outcome ID, short LO statement, evidence in CLA2 (page/section), corresponding slide(s), and assessment metric. This explicit mapping demonstrates alignment between assignments and ensures the professor can quickly verify coverage (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005; Biggs, 2003).
Design, accessibility, and format guidelines
Use the professor’s template for consistent branding; apply slide-level hierarchy: 6x6 rule for text, high-contrast colors, and legible fonts (Kosslyn, 2007). Ensure accessibility: meaningful alt text for visuals, high-contrast palettes, and readable font sizes; verify with Microsoft’s accessibility checker before submission (Microsoft, 2021). Use visuals (charts, icons) to replace dense text where possible (Mayer, 2009).
Submission checklist
Before submitting, verify: professor template used; ≥15 slides; speaker notes included; learning outcomes mapped; agenda, executive summary, references present; file name follows instructor convention; accessibility check completed; and a separate script file attached if required.
Sample speaker script excerpt (for Slide 3 — Executive summary)
“Today I will summarize key findings from CLA2. In brief: finding one, its implication, and our top recommendation for action. I will then outline the methods, evidence, and how the project maps back to learning outcomes from PA1, CLA1, PA2 and CLA2. Following the recommendations, I’ll close with next steps and invite questions.”
Final notes on assessment readiness
Provide the professor a one-page handout with the executive summary and learning-outcomes table for quick grading. Embedding speaker notes in the PPT demonstrates preparedness and aligns evidence to outcomes — both valued in CLA assessments (Bloom, 1956; Wiggins & McTighe, 2005).
