a) Create the second slide, your introduction, by clicking

on the “new slide” option. New slides can usually also
be created by right-clicking your mouse, clicking on
tabs, and using drop-down options to access other
menus and tools.
b) Write your introduction text in the notes section below
the slide. This text will serve as the script for your
presentation.
c) Use your script as a basis to create bullet points on your
slide. This introduction slide will be used to engage your audience, introduce your topic, and
present your thesis statement, which is what you will convince your audience of by the end
of the presentation; more specifically, it will state how you think the donated money should
be spent for your school.
d) Add any media you feel will reinforce the information. Ask your teacher for guidance if you
need help finding appropriate media.
e) Remember to save your work as you go.
