Content: Filling in the Structure

In this lesson you populate your locked presentation structure with purpose-driven content such as text, images, and data. You then remove any elements that do not serve the overall purpose before saving an updated version.

    1 - Introduction ~5 mins

    Today you will

    • make a copy of your format 1 file called {{code:sm2_vet_presentation_v2}}
    • add real words, one picture and one number under your titles
    • cut the lines your interviewer does not need

    Illustration for IntroductionFirst, open {{code:Project_Portfolio}}, then {{code:09_specialism}}, then {{code:sm2}}, and find {{code:sm2_vet_presentation_v1}}. If it is missing, tell your teacher.

    Warm-up

    What is the one thing an interviewer must know about your project?

    2 - Key Concepts ~5 mins

    Structure locked means your titles and their order stay the same today. You only fill in under them.

    The purpose filter is one question: does the interviewer need this line? If not, it goes.

    A good mix is short text, one picture as proof, and one number the interviewer can check.

    To cut a line, paste it into your notes first, then delete it.

    Demo example (do not copy)

    Coastal Crafts' number: unit cost €6.50, sale price €15, target 40 units.

    3 - Step-by-step Task ~8 mins

    Watch your teacher fill two sample slides first. Then make your v2 copy and fill your first section only, with two or three short lines about your own project.

    Follow the steps in the box below and stop when it says stop.

    If your format 1 is not slides, do the same in your own tool and save the copy with a v2 name like {{code:sm2_vet_script_v2}}.

    4 - Common Issues ~2 mins

    Common snags

    • If you can't find {{code:sm2_vet_presentation_v1}} in {{code:sm2}}, make a new titles-only file and tell your teacher.
    • If your slides have long paragraphs, turn each one into two or three short bullets.
    • If you keep changing colours, stop. Today is only for words, a picture and a number.
    • If you're not sure what to cut, paste the line into your notes, then delete it.

    5 - Portfolio Build ~30 mins

    Portfolio build

    Your goal: Finish your v2 file so an interviewer can follow your project.
    Time: ~30 minutes
    Task: Show your teacher your v2 file, then:
    1. Fill every section with short lines about your project.
    2. Add one proof picture, like a project photo. In PowerPoint, use {{menu:Insert -> Pictures -> This device}} or {{menu:Insert -> Pictures -> Stock images}}. In Google Slides, use {{menu:Insert -> Image -> Upload from computer}} or {{menu:Insert -> Image -> Stock & web}}.
    3. Add one number and label estimates, like {{code:Unit cost estimate: €7}}.
    4. Paste two cut lines into your notes or a Cuts box, then delete them.
    Success criteria:
    • My v2 file is in {{code:sm2}}, separate from v1.
    • Every section has short lines about my project.
    • It has one picture and one number.
    • Two cut lines are in my notes or a Cuts box.
