Develop a 12-15 slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format.
When making a presentation, you do not want to put so much information on the screen that you will lose the attention of your audience. Provide your information concisely on each screen taking advantage of bulleted lists. Since you do not want to crowd the screen, include explanatory information for each slide using the Notes feature in Microsoft PowerPoint. In an actual presentation, you would use these notes to practice the spoken portion of your presentation. It may be helpful to imagine that the notes section contains your "paper" and the slides contain the key points that your audience "must know."
On the final slide, provide a list of references, using APA format Include at least three scholarly resources, one of which must be your textbook.
