Slide 2 should include your Research Question and your reason for wanting to examine this question.
When you go through your slides, you do not want to read everything. If all you do is read your slides,
people will get tired and feel that they can just read them on their own. So consider a picture.
NOTE: your reason for wanting to examine this question adds that interest to what you are doing. While this is beneficial in a presentation, it should not be in your paper. Papers are more objective.

Slide 3 to 4 – Presentation of Information
Here you want to present the major piece(s) of information that you obtained from your articles that
assists you with answering your question. You may also want to include the most interesting
Remember, information should be incorporated together. You should NOT present each source on a
different slide. You should NOT try to present everything you did in your paper. You need to be
selective here. What information best helps you to answer your question? Remember, even though this
is a presentation, information still needs to be cited.

You also need to consider how you present information. You do not want a paragraph that you will
read. It is better to use bullet points with phrases that you will expand upon. The point should then serve as triggers for you to present.

Slide 4 or 5 – Conclusion
What did you learn from doing this assignment? Remember the goal, that instructors have for you
writing papers is for you to learn something. So what did you learn? You will never be able to
completely answer your research question in a class paper. You should not attempt to completely
answer your question in a presentation. The goal is for you to have gained knowledge and for your to
pass that knowledge on to your fellow classmates. Again remember you can not present everything. So
what is/are the major items learned? Here again, this is a good place for a picture.
