You will provide a two-paragraph analysis for each of the following three images, with a total analysis of six paragraphs.
Part B: Outline Rough Draft
As you continue to develop the outline for your PowerPoint presentation, you will be confirming your thesis, main ideas, and adding a fourth source to your list of sources to be used. Remember, the first slide in the PowerPoint will act as your title slide. On that slide you will include the title of the presentation, your name as the presenter, the school’s name, and the date.
Include and submit the following components:
- Title page (title of speech, name of presenter, audience prepared for – school or institution, date)
- You can use this information to create your first slide in PowerPoint.
- General topic, specific topic, and thesis statement
- Three main points with at least two working sub points that will make up the body of the speech
- Reference section with a minimum of four authoritative, outside scholarly sources
- These sources can include the source titles referenced during Week 4.
- Anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable.
- References must be written in APA format with hanging indents, in alphabetical order, and with everything double spaced.
ANSWER
Part A: Slide Analysis
Slide #1: What Works Well
The choice of background color for the slide is appealing and not too loud for the audience. The font size is legible without straining. The inclusion of in-text citation also shows the use of research. The inclusion of a title and spacing in between the title and the content is appealing. From the general outlook, the slide is informative, though it requires improvement.
