VERBAL COMMUINCATION
Part A: Slide Analysis
Review the three slides below considering the slide layout, design, font size, colors used and overall visual appeal. Analyze the three slides for what works well and what should be changed to improve each slide. Write a two-paragraph summary for each image using the following headings:
- Slide # What Works Well
(paragraph response)
- Slide # What Needs to be Improved
(paragraph response)
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.
