Ghi chús, not A4 paper

A4 at your face steals the class’s eyes. Ghi chús under the slide, or a small scrap with a sentence.

A4 paper is a notebook at your face. The class sees paper, not you.

A big paper at your face is a wall. The class reads your notebook, or cannot see your mouth. Ghi chús belong under the slide, into a field that after Present (F5) is not on the screen. When you fall, a second on the sentence on the slide, not lifting A4. In an emergency a small scrap with one sentence what it is about. Not a paragraph. A paragraph on paper is reading again. Mật khẩus and emails do not belong on A4. Paper gets lost in a desk. A parent holds the account. Today you hide A4 and say one slide from notes. The goal is that a parent from the door sees you, not a sheet. When you know the sentence by heart, the scrap stays in a pocket. An unused scrap is a success, not shame that you had it. A parent holds the account. Paper with a password in a desk is a trap. Today one slide with no A4 at your face. The goal is that a parent sees you. The sheet belongs in a bag, or in the Ghi chús field in Slides.

Klára read A4, face away, voice into paper. The class did not hear the sentence. Marek had two sentences in Ghi chús, Present (F5) a clean screen, a scrap in a pocket unused. After practice Klára folded the paper to a third and then hid it fully. Ghi chús in Slides stayed. A parent from the door saw Klára’s sheet and did not hear the sentence. After hiding A4 they saw a face. Marek opened Show speaker notes for her. Two sentences were enough. The scrap in a pocket stayed folded. She did not use it. That was a success, not shame.

💡

When you fall, a second on the slide, not lifting A4. A4 is an eye magnet. The slide is an anchor the class may see.

Ghi chús live under the slide, not at your face

Delete the habit of printing the whole speech on A4. In Slides: View → Show speaker notes. Two sentences. Click Present (F5). Say the slide with no paper at your face. In PowerPoint: View → Ghi chús, then presenter view. Slides go to the screen, not your notebook. A scrap max one sentence, pocket size, emergency. Do not write emails, passwords, a phone on it. A parent from the door: did they see paper, or you? You — hold. Paper — again without it. Three times the same slide. The mouth carries an add-on. The slide carries a short sentence. A4 paper carries shame of eyes. At home you may have a notebook. At the board no. At the board you have notes in the computer, or nothing. A parent’s account. An email does not belong on A4 or on a scrap. In PowerPoint presenter view shows notes to you. The screen stays clean. When you fall, a second on the slide. Lifting A4 is an eye magnet. The class should look at you.

Wrong: Klára, A4 at her face, the sentence on paper, the class sees a sheet.

Right: Marek, notes at the bottom, a clean screen, a scrap in a pocket unused.

When you must have paper, let it be small and hidden. A big sheet is a notebook again. Equally wrong is printing the whole speech on A4 “just in case”. Certainty is the Ghi chús field. Right is an emergency scrap with one sentence what it is about. A paragraph on paper is reading again, only in a hand. A parent from the door should see you. The sheet in a bag. Ghi chús in Slides. A password on paper no.

⚠️

Do not write emails and passwords on A4 just in case. An adult watches the account. Anyone can find paper in a desk. On a scrap one sentence what it is about is enough.

Four things you will build in this course

The course has four small projects. You do not have to do them all at once. Today you add only this:

🎯 A hobby in 5 slides

Five slides about something you like doing. One sentence about what it is. No paragraphs from your notebook.

Hobby: the scene is in notes. On the slide one sentence. Leave A4 at home.

📚 A report

Eight slides for school: a start, three proofs, an end. The title on every slide is a sentence, not “Slide 3”.

Report: eight paragraphs on A4 is reading. Eight short notes under slides are enough.

📊 Survey results

A chart from a table (not a screenshot from chat) and under it where the numbers come from.

Survey: the number is on the slide. Meaning in notes. Paper with a table at your face steals the chart.

⚖️ A defence

You say one sentence, show proof, answer “and what if…”. If you do not know, you say I don’t know.

Defence: a teacher wants your eyes. A4 is a wall between you.

Hide A4, open Ghi chús

Paper into a bag. Two sentences under the slide. Present (F5) with no sheet at your face.

  1. Hide A4. Open Slides. View → Show speaker notes. Into the field write two sentences that are not on the slide.

  2. Present (F5). Say the slide with no paper at your face. Face to the door. When you fall, a second on the slide, not A4.

  3. Esc. In PowerPoint: View → Ghi chús. Present (F5) again. Check that the screen does not show notes.

  4. When you really want paper, cut a small scrap with one sentence. A paragraph must not. A password must not. An email must not.

  5. A parent: did they see paper, or you? Save the file on a parent’s Drive. Do not leave A4 with notes in a school desk over the weekend.

Paper, or you

A parent from the door sees either you, or a sheet. They should see you.

  1. One slide with no A4. Ghi chús in Slides.

  2. Delete from the scrap everything except one sentence what it is about.

  3. Check that on the paper there is no email, password or phone.

Now you 💪

  1. Ghi chús are under the slide, not on the screen.
  2. A4 does not sit at my face.
  3. On an emergency scrap there is no paragraph or email.

Done when: You can say one slide from notes in Slides, with no A4 at your face.
