Final Outline Components:

General topic
Specific topic
Thesis statement (the three main ideas of your presentation in one sentence)

Conclusion paragraph (written out as you plan to narrate and record it)

Slide Visuals:

Find five of the images you plan to use in your PowerPoint presentation.

- Beneath each visual, describe why you selected this visual and how you plan to use this visual in your PowerPoint.

Four Outside Scholarly Sources:

References page with a minimum of 4 authoritative, outside scholarly sources

- These sources can be the sources referenced during Week 5, but you are free to change those sources if they are no longer serving as support for your PowerPoint.
  - Anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable.
  - References must be written in APA format with hanging indents, in alphabetical order, and with everything double-spaced. The word “references” should be centered.
  - Include copyrighted image resources in this list. You can copy and paste these citations to use as the last slide in your PowerPoint.

Presentation Note

Use a few bullets for each slide, with one phrase or one sentence for each bullet.
Do not put any paragraphs into the slides.
