      ab: We are using PowerPoint and students' oral communication skills to improve their writing skills. For some writing assignments, we will ask the students to give oral presentations of the writing assignment topic. These presentations will be PowerPoint presentations. The students will be encouraged to use PowerPoint accessories like slide transitions to enhance their presentations. However, it will be stressed that the use of accessories must enhance the presentation of the topic. The students' written assignments must include written adaptations of the enhancements.
