Use bullet points to highlight main points. If you use graphics, be sure to condense them, so your presentation is not too large. Most photographs will not upload, so please only use 2 to 3. Mechanics: PowerPoint does not require that you write full sentences or paragraphs; in fact, this will detract from your presentation; however, your ideas must flow logically and your points should be presented in a consistent format. Check your spelling and use standard American English. You should consult at least three SCHOLARLY sources in preparing your presentation. Your last slide should be a References slide following APA format. Must be saved as a ppt or pptx format and submitted through SafeAssign. If you use many photos, save your file in two parts and submit separately. If you would like to include a video (YouTube), save as an individual slide and submit on separately. *Late assignments will not be accepted; however, you may turn your assignment in early.
