Organization
The organization of this project is important. You are to design a power point that can be used to teach about suicide. Your power point needs to have color but not so much that is distracts from the message you are trying to teach. It needs to be organized in a fashion that is easy to read and easy to understand information. The use of headings and sub-titles is important. I don’t want it to be wordy but I want it to be correct and precise. Make sure the font is readable from the back of the room. Make sure the music is appropriate!!!!!!
