When you organize your presentation, ensure you use the correct type of layout for each slide. The layout options can be found on the Home tab on the ribbon. For example, you should use a title slide for the first slide of the presentation. Your presentation should look neat and organized and should be free of grammatical errors. After reading the article, you will choose 6 of the 10 values in the article that you feel are the most important. Each body slide will have two values and one bullet point for each, in which you explain why the value is important to an employer. For example: Value #1: Why the value is important Value #2: Why the value is important Remember - Your PowerPoint presentation should not have large paragraphs. Rather, it should have bullet points containing important information. Your conclusion slide should have your thoughts on how you fit the values that employers look for (but remember to avoid those large paragraphs). The reference slide (the sixth and final slide), needs to include the citation of the article, which you can copy and paste from here: Loretto, P. (2019, November 24).
