* Sample slide from the middle of a presentation. Notice how animation works to allow the speaker to present fairly complex connections in a way that the audience can digest. Notice how the arrows show connections—something that bullets could not achieve. Reference This slide is a composite slide from a number of mechanical engineering seniors in ME 4006, a laboratory course at Virginia Tech. These presentations occurred during the Fall 2004 semester. * Blank slide for drafting a body slide. * Body slide from the third section of the presentation’s middle. For the first body slide of this third section, consider repeating the corresponding image from the mapping slide. Use the headline to say state an assertion about this topic. In the body of the slide, support that headline with images and with words, if necessary. See CSP, pages 116-117 and 147-151. This slide shows one orientation for the image and text in the body of the slide. Other orientations appear in this template. Choose the orientation that best supports your headline assertion. * Sample slide from second section of the presentation’s middle. The image was such that there was no need for supporting text. Reference: Katrina Aspmo, Torunn Berg, and Grethe Wibetoe, “Atmospheric Mercury Depletion Events (AMDEs) in Polar Regions During Arctic Spring,” presentation (Oslo, Norway: University of Oslo, 16 June 2004). * Blank slide for drafting a body slide. * Conclusion slide. Use the headline (no more than two lines) to state your most important conclusion. Begin the headline with In summary or In conclusion to ensure that the audience knows they have come to the presentation’s end. Support that headline with an image and parallel points. This slide should be your last slide. Audiences lose patience when they believe that they have come to the end, but other slides follow. Notice that the word Questions appears at the bottom of this slide. That strategy is much more effective than burning
