4. Main Idea Slide 2 - Videos

We will add a new slide and use a video to support our script in explaining our second main idea.

 

Complete the steps below:

1. Start by inserting a new “Title and Content layout” slide.

2. Add the following title to the slide: “Planning your writing”

 

3. Click in the content area where is says “Click to add text” and then select from the Insert ribbon the Online Video option.

 

  1. Search for a video on YouTube that explains in five minutes or less on how to create a Mind-Map or Spider Diagrams and copy the URL to the video. Alternatively, you can use the following video URL:

      

  1.  Paste the URL of the video in the field under “Enter the address for the online video” and then click on the Insert button. 

 

6. The video is inserted into the content area, and you can use the Dots on the border to make the video bigger

 

7. Your slide now contains all the required information to support your script and you can now add your script developed in Lesson 1 to the notes section. Below is an example script to add: 
Planning is about organisation as well as prioritisation. Some of your information will be essential but other information can be left out because of the word count or the limitations of the question.  
Even if you start off with a sketchy plan, put it down because it’s easier to change or adapt a plan than to organise and prioritise information after writing. Some plans can be visually attractive like spider diagrams and Mind Mapping™ but outlines and lists give you a clear idea of the structure and sequence of the information. 
I will now show you a short video clip that demonstrate the diagrams and Mind Mapping™ procedure.

 

The second main idea slide is now complete, and you have learned how to insert online videos to slides. 

We can now continue to add the third main idea slide to the presentation.
