One of the basic essentials for working through your writing journey is to understand the writing process...this process will allow you to make sense of all of your ideas and lay them out in an orderly, effective fashion. Each step is essential in publishing your best work possible and it is important to realize that you can ALWAYS make a paper better...so really the process is never ending! My slides are very simple, yet jam packed. There is not a whole lot on each side, but there is a lot to say about each one, which in essence means that there is a lot to take away from each. As the BBP approach states, we can most definitely steer away from the traditional bullet point layout with a consistent background throughout and the 6 by 6 rule...(six words per line, with no more than 6 lines per slide) while keeping in mind the importance of the audience's ability to make sense of it all! (beginning, middle and end is always nice in helping to accomplish this!) Another thing I did while constructing this slide show was to import images that explained the headline, which clearly states the main idea for the particular slide...in other words, I could understand the topic presented just as easily if all words were deleted, leaving just the pictures...This may be more difficult for different topics, but certainly doable and quite effective as well because I am sure we can all agree that plain, wordy paragraph slides are a bit overwhelming, stressful and confusing. This slide show could really be used for any age group, but due to the simplicity I would use it for elementary aged students...it could easily be modified to fit older students and or adults as well!
