I can’t directly open or edit your Google Slides, but I’ll give you a complete ready-to-paste Google Slides deck: slide-by-slide content, speaker notes, image/visual suggestions, the in-depth assignment template, three business profiles, and model answers (teacher key). You can copy each slide’s text into a new Slides deck (or I can help step-by-step if you want). Below is everything organized so you can build the deck in ~10–15 minutes.

Quick instructions to create the deck
- Open slides.google.com → + Blank.
- Pick a simple theme (e.g., “Material” or “Spearmint”).
- For each slide below: create a slide, paste the Title and Body text. Add speaker notes if desired (I supply those).
- Add visuals: suggested image keywords or free icon sets (Flaticon, Unsplash).
- If you want, tell me which slides you want exported as images or adjusted and I’ll refine content.
