School presentation maker: slides and a script you can practise
A school presentation is graded on two things: clear slides and a confident talk. This prompt has your todo.is agent research your topic with sources, build a PowerPoint with one idea per slide and few words, add images, and write speaker notes timed to your slot so you know exactly what to say and when.
The prompt
- Make a school presentation on [TOPIC] for [CLASS AND GRADE]. It should last [LENGTH] and have about [NUMBER OF SLIDES] slides. Research it and use reliable sources. One idea per slide, no more than 25 words of text per slide, and a relevant image or simple diagram on most slides (check the image rights, or make one). Include a title slide with [MY NAME], an agenda, the main points, one surprising fact, a short conclusion, a question slide for the class and a sources slide. Write speaker notes for every slide in simple spoken language with timings. Give me the PowerPoint (.pptx), a PDF copy and a one-page script to practise from, and email them to me.
What to change
- [TOPIC]: E.g. "the water cycle", "Ancient Egypt's pyramids", "climate change and coral reefs". Paste your teacher's instructions if you have them.
- [CLASS AND GRADE]: E.g. "7th grade science" or "Year 11 history".
- [LENGTH]: E.g. "5 minutes".
- [NUMBER OF SLIDES]: E.g. "8". About one slide per 40 to 60 seconds of talking.
- [MY NAME]: Your name, and your group members' names if it is a group project.
Example result
- Climate change and coral reefs: 5 minutes, 8 slides
- 8th grade science · by Maya and Leo
- Slide 1: title (0:00 to 0:15)
- • On slide: "Why coral reefs are turning white" · photo of a healthy reef next to a bleached one
- • Say: "Look at these two photos. Same reef, two years apart. Today we will explain what happened."
- Slide 2: what coral is (0:15 to 0:50)
- • On slide: "Coral = tiny animals + algae living inside them" · simple diagram of a coral polyp
- • Say: coral looks like a plant or rock, but it is an animal. Tiny algae live inside and make food from sunlight. That partnership gives coral its colour.
- Slide 3: why reefs matter (0:50 to 1:30)
- • On slide: "About a quarter of sea life uses reefs" · fish icons
- • Say: reefs cover a tiny part of the ocean but are home to a huge share of marine species. They also protect coasts from waves.
- Slide 4: what bleaching is (1:30 to 2:15)
- • On slide: "Too hot → algae leave → coral turns white"
- • Say: when the water stays too warm, coral pushes out its algae. Without them it turns white and starts to starve.
- Slide 5: why the water is warmer (2:15 to 3:00)
- • On slide: line graph of ocean temperature over time (from the source on slide 8)
- Slide 6: surprising fact (3:00 to 3:30)
- • On slide: "Bleached coral is not dead yet"
- • Say: if the water cools in time, the algae can come back.
- Slide 7: what helps (3:30 to 4:30)
- • Cutting emissions, protected marine areas, reef-safe sunscreen, coral restoration projects
- Slide 8: questions and sources (4:30 to 5:00)
- • Question for the class: "What is one thing our school could do?"
- • Sources: 3 science agency and university pages, with links, checked by your agent
- Delivery tips in the script
- • Look up at the class at the start of every slide
- • Point to the graph on slide 5 and say what the line shows before saying what it means
How to do it with todo.is
- Fill in the topic, class, time limit and your name, and paste your teacher's instructions if you have them.
- Send the to-do to your agent in todo.is, or by WhatsApp or Telegram.
- You get a PowerPoint, a PDF and a practice script by email.
- Ask for changes ("make slide 4 simpler", "add a quiz slide"), then practise with a timer twice before the day.
Tips for a better result
- Put less on the slide and more in your voice. If you read your slides, the class reads ahead and stops listening.
- Start with a question or a picture, not "Today I am going to talk about…".
- Practise out loud with a timer. Most people run 30 to 50% over the first time.
- Learn the content and change the wording into your own. Teachers can tell, and many classes have rules on AI use.
school presentation maker: FAQ
- How many slides for a 5-minute presentation? Usually 5 to 8. Plan about 40 to 60 seconds per slide, plus a title and a sources slide.
- Can I open the file in Google Slides or Keynote? Yes. Upload the .pptx to Google Slides or open it in Keynote. Fonts may change slightly, so check each slide.
- Are the images safe to use? Your agent uses images with clear usage rights, or makes diagrams and AI images. AI images can get details wrong, so check them, and list your image sources on the last slide.
- Can it make a group presentation? Yes. Add everyone's names and ask your agent to split the slides and speaker notes between you.
