Common Core Standards

Grade 8

Speaking and Listening SL.8.5

Integrate multimedia and visual displays into presentations to clarify information, strengthen claims and evidence, and add interest.

It's funny that "add interest" only appears on this multimedia standard and not any of the ones before it, so for eighth grade, make sure that the multimedia stuff in presentations are extra interesting. Don't forget that they still have to, you know, actually be related to whatever's being talked about. We don't want to see any cat GIFs on a presentation on the muffins of Oscar Wilde!
