1A SLIDE IS NOTA DOCUMENT
• I am very knowledgeable and I have a lot of things to say.• Because I am so clever I put lots of information on my slides. • Putting lots of information on my slides also shows people that
I am talking about serious things.• I don’t have a lot of time for graphics because they distract
people from the important and clever things I’m saying. • I think it’s important to put as much information as possible on
the slides to make sure that people understand everything.• Another good thing about having lots of information on your
slides is that you can just read out loud so you don’t have to worry about remembering what you want to say.
• Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, blah.
