In a sixty-minute lesson, have 30-35 slides, depending on stories you are telling or complexity of the
message. Each slide represents a complete story. You might be presenting statistics (sparingly), recalling
an experience that leads to a lesson, or teaching a lesson.
But, you should always stick to one story per slide.
6. Reveal one bullet at a time.

Animation in Keynote
The trick when presenting text, like a short list of bullets, is to make your point without losing the
audience. One technique is to reveal one bullet at a time. In PowerPoint, right click on your text box,
select Custom Animation > Add Entrance Effect and then choose the effect you want. In Keynote, click
Animate > Build in and choose the effect you want.
7. Keep your transitions and automations simple.
It’s great that you know how to turn text into flames and make images spin – but leave those fireworks
to for the 4 of July. Your job is to make you the star. Simple transitions, clean fonts and large, attractive
th
graphics trumps PowerPoint tricks, every time.
