Please notice this in my work…

Criteria for Comparing Films: Content Include similarities and differences for 4 characters (traits, roles, motivations) Include 2 or 3 main similarities and differences in plot (setting, atmosphere, events) Include 2 or 3 main similarities and differences in conflict (problems) Include 2 main similarities and differences in main ideas (subjects) Use specific examples from the film to explain similarities and differences Slides Put explanations in the speaker notes and only main points on slides Use a minimum of 9 slides (orange and green) Minimum font size 18. Criteria for Organization: Creative The placement of images creates balance Slides may be added to accommodate more images Title Slides (purple) may be decorated to grab attention and improve understanding of title. Logical: Plot comparisons are put in a relatively close time order they occurred in the film (beginning, middle, end) Place images to help viewer understand information (Ex.  similarities: images on the outside, differences: images in the middle) Criteria for Images: Images are clear and match specific information on the slide Images used are interesting; not just the first one found.
