Imagine you have been asked to present at the next staff meeting. You know you will have lots of data tables and sales figures to discuss, but you also want to keep the mood light by having some humor in your presentation. So the first thing you will do is find some visuals to help break up the business discussion.

  1. Open a new blank presentation. Save it to the Rowan folder on your desktop as LastName_NewPresentation.pptx, replacing “LastName” with your own last name. (Example: Hywater_NewPresentation) It is a good idea to save your work periodically.
  2. On the first slide, title the presentation “Module 10 Presentation” with your name in the subtitle box.
    A Microsoft Powerpoint deck is open with 1 slide. On the Title slide it says Module 10 Presentation. The subtitle says Your Name Here.
  3. Add three more slides with these layouts: “Title and Content,” “Two Content,” and “Title and Content.”
