Preparing for Presentation
Prepare your websites and presentations so you are confident, polished, and ready to showcase your work to the class and potential guests.
Scripture
Colossians 3:17 (HCSB) – “And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
→ Tie-in: Our presentations should reflect the effort, creativity, and skills we’ve developed, all offered with excellence and gratitude.
Presentation
- Introduction – Name, website topic, and audience.
- Purpose – Why you chose this site idea.

Preparing the Website for Display
- Check:
- All links work.
- Pages are complete and styled consistently.
- Images are optimized and load quickly.
- Menus and footer are accurate.
- Contact form works.
- Ensure there’s no “dummy text” left anywhere (like “Lorem Ipsum”).
Presentation Practice
- Students:
- Partner with a classmate.
- Walk through their presentation as if it were the real thing.
- Receive quick feedback on clarity, flow, and timing.
- Teacher circulates to help refine talking points and pacing.
Creating a Visual Aid
- Option to prepare:
- A one-slide introduction with name, site title, and screenshot.
- A PDF portfolio sheet summarizing their site.
Demonstrate how to take full-page screenshots for inclusion.
Homework
- Finalize your website and double-check everything for functionality and design consistency.
- Practice your presentation at least twice at home.
Bring any visual aids (slides, portfolio sheet) for Presentation Day
