High School and STD’s

10 content slides plus title and reference slide. Please also make sure to include some pictures, graphs or diagrams. 

Your professional development assignment will be a power point about aging changes, sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and prevention. Be sure to address the questions in the classroom without copying them into your power point (questions are at the bottom of this assignment).  You will need at least 10 content slides, in addition to the title and references slides and at least two scholarly sources other than the learning materials provided in the classroom.  HINT:  acronyms such as STD cannot be used in titles, headings or as the first word in a sentence unless they are spelled out.  Acronyms in text have to be spelled out the first time used in the document, then in subsequent text may be used.   You need to use graphics in this assignment, remember it is for high schoolers; make it interesting!!

Note the required information for your power point assignment this week.   Here are some power point tips: 

• Do not write a paper in the PPT  clean, organized and easy to read bullets/graphs/diagrams should be used to get the message across
• Titles on each slide are to be in all capital letters, remaining information such as text info and references are NEVER in all capital letters in a power point.
• Citations are on EACH slide posted in the lower right corner as (author, year)  the exception is if you use a quote or have more than bullets for the message than use the citation within the sentence/message  but using quotes and full sentences is completely avoided if at all possible for class PPTs.   Citations are to be in parentheses.   I do NOT want you to complete speaker notes in your power points!
• Enticing background color is welcomed as well as minimal transitions and pictures to add to the message.  (You may need to cite sources of pictures or graphics in your power point). 
• Title slide with title, your name, the date, and school listed.  Note that headings/titles on each slide are to be in ALL CAPITAL letters
• Objectives slide follows the title slide and tells the reader what you will cover. (Just like the introductory paragraph in a paper).
• Every slide has a heading of no more than 3-4 words- no acronyms (such as RN, MD, ICU, etc.) are permitted in headings, all numbers and acronyms have to be spelled out in headings or titles or as the first word of any sentence.
• No more than 7-8 bullets or points on a slide
• Reference slide compiling ALL references as the last slide in APA format; bulleted or hanging
• Be sure that the font is large enough to read or you may need to make it larger- sometimes 15-20 are good for references.
• There should be at least 2-4 pictures, graphs, or diagrams in each power point. If they are copyrighted material, they must be cited and referenced.
