8-10 slides per solo group

4. Title slide Include your cause 1 Picture All members names
Not included in total count

5. CREATING
It is important to realize that you should not put so much information on each slide. If you put entire paragraphs on each slide then the main points can get buried and you end up just reading the slide for your presentation. This does not make an interesting presentation.
When you make the slide you must be sure to include at least three facts and no more than five. You will also need to include a title, a picture and an MLA citation for each slide (you may have more).
When you are putting your facts on the slide you need to remember to group the facts in a way that is cohesive and makes sense. If they are random and do not make sense together your presentation will feel scattered and you will lose points. Also have your last name on the slide so I can see who has done what on your presentation

6. CREATING You want bullet point not paragraphs
You need 3-5 facts on each slide with an MLA citation stating where you got each fact
The facts should have the same theme and go together and not be random (make a fact family)
Each slide should also have a heading and a picture/graph and the last name of the person who is responsible for it.
