PPTX Teaching Slides

Required Capabilities

Use the Presentations capability provided by the environment to create, render, and export PPTX. If that capability is unavailable, explain the limitation first; do not pass off full-page screenshots as an editable presentation.

Workflow

1. Read the source documents, data, and existing visual rules.
2. Establish content positioning: audience, occasion, time, takeaway sentence, three core concepts, and common misconceptions.
3. Create a page table: page number, role, title, single claim, evidence object, comprehension task, layout.
4. Complete the storyline first, then build the slides.
5. Use PowerPoint native text, shapes, tables, charts, and editable icons.
6. Render all slides and check them page by page.
7. Fix the weakest pages and re-render.
8. Deliver .pptx, preview images, and check results.

Page Rules

• One claim per page; write titles as conclusion sentences or question sentences whenever possible.
• At most three main elements per page; if exceeded, split the page or present in steps.
• Arrange a judgment, question, or comprehension task every three to five pages.
• When text is the main focus, use large font sizes, clear hierarchy, and generous whitespace.
• Do not convert source document sections page by page into titles plus bullet points.
• Do not compress important text, mathematical expressions, or chart labels into images.

For detailed instructional design principles, see references/deck-principles.md。

PPTX Quality Rules

• Keep all important text editable.
• Table and chart values must be verified against the source.
• Maintain image proportions; do not stretch or use low resolution.
• Chinese fonts must be available on the target computer, and reasonable substitute fonts must be prepared.
• For projection environments, body text should generally be no smaller than 20 pt.
• Use text configurations that PowerPoint can display reliably for mathematical symbols; use dual-layer text boxes or editable equation objects for complex formulas.

Render Check

Confirm page by page:

• No text overflow, clipping, or overlap.
• Alignment, whitespace, and visual hierarchy are consistent.
• Titles, charts, and presentation order match.
• Section rhythm and key pages remain recognizable in thumbnail view.
• The final PPTX can be reopened.

Workshop Quick Mode

When time is limited, complete 6–8 pages first:

1. Cover and problem.
2. Why it matters.
3. Three core concepts.
4. One case or chart.
5. Common misconceptions.
6. Takeaway sentence and action.

Delivery

Report the absolute PPTX path, preview location, page count, render check status, and any font or source limitations.
