While text is used, an electronic presentation integrates graphics, objects from the drawing toolbar, clipart, charts (Excel or PowerPoint) design templates, backgrounds, animation, transitions, and more. The PowerPoint Slide show: ???Must include 8-10 slides ???The slide show must summarize the research paper. Include a variety of PowerPoint elements learned after engaging in Week Four''s activities, referencing the MS Office training links, viewing the PP Concepts slideshow available through the "Research Project” link on the left navigation bar, and by using the Ulrich text. ???The Ulrich text is a great reference for this project. ???First, a title slide should be created. ???Second, create slides which will show either graphically or through text an organization of your presentation (table of contents). ???Third, the body of the slide show must be developed. This will be the bulk of your presentation. ???Fourth, create a slide to conclude the presentation. Some people use poems, audio clips, phrases, or visuals to"sum it up". ???Finally, a citation slide listing all references must be created. All sources must be listed which also includes images, objects that you didn''t create, etc. ???Take time to view the two slide shows available through the "Research Project" link on the left navigation bar, which were developed by AU students. ???Since you will peer-critique the slide show, it is imperative that you finish it by Day 4 of Week 5 in order to complete your responses by Day 7 of Week 5. ???Object linking and embedding is an interesting way to organize navigation. The drawing toolbar has a home button as well as navigation (forward, backward) arrows which you can use to hyperlink to particular slides or even to external web sites. Most objects (pictures, charts, and text) can be used as hyperlinks to move from one area of your slide show to another.

The voice of the writer is compelling and conveys the writer’s meaning through effective sentence structure and precise word choices. The writer successfully moves the paper through academic constructs and experiential documentation to critical analysis. The paper demonstrates a clear balance of these three components.
