3. Add Slides and Content

We will add a new slide and use a bulleted list to introduce the objectives of the presentation. Complete the following steps: 

1. Add a new slide by selecting the Insert ribbon and then clicking on New Slide dropdown arrow and then finally select the “Title and Content layout”. This will insert a new slide and navigate to the new slide. 

 

2. On the new slide, click on the “Click to add title” textbox and type in Objectives 

3. Click on the “Click to add text” textbox and type in the following: 
   By the end of this presentation, you will be able 
   to establish the sort of writer you are 
   to plan your writing 
   to start thinking critically 

 

4. Select the three objectives and then from the Home ribbon select the “Increase List Level”  option.

 

5. The font is very small and might impact the readability of the slide for the audience. Select all the text in the textbox and click on the “Increase Font Size” until the font is big enough.

 

6. On the Notes for this slide insert the following script created in Lesson 01: 

By knowing what kind of writer, you are, you will be able manage your strengths and weaknesses. You will also work out what space you like working in – be it at a desk in your bedroom, another room in the house, or even at Bootleggers. Even the time of day plays a role.  

When we look at how to keep your writing focussed, we look at the subject specific words, the focus, and the limitations of your assignment. 

Of course, the kind of writer that you will influence the kind of planning you do but you cannot start writing without having a plan and knowing your content be reading critically.

 

The objective slide is now complete, and you have learned how to insert a new slide and add a bulleted list. 

We can now continue to add the content slides of the presentation.
