Handouts

Handout materials can make copious use of graphics. For example, instead of listing the Ten Commandments, why not present in graphical form? There should also be space for students to make their own notes. All of the Christian Computer Art CDs contain material indispensable to the study leader.

Overhead Projectors

If you are using an overhead projector, don't forget you can get special acetates for computer printers. DON'T use ordinary acetates: inkjet printers will smudge them and they'll melt inside your laser printer. Get the right materials!

Make sure your text and detail is large enough to be seen from the back of the group. Generally speaking ordinary sized type for paper (up to 12 point) is a waste of time. Five lines of text spread across the page is a rule-of-thumb. Better still, cut down the words and use graphics instead. Pictures are much more interesting than words. Explaining a situation with the aid of a picture works well.
