Later Adulthood issue of Diabetes

·       You are to create your presentation as if you are a Social Worker or Helping Professional who is slated to present at a conference/seminar in order to educate, raise awareness and advocate for change on your adolescent issue.

·       You must have a title slide, minimum of 4-5 slides per numbered section below (in blue), followed by a reference slide. Make sure you use in-text citations in APA format for your slides just as you would with a paper.

·        I am looking for maximum efforts.  I want to be educated, informed, and engaged!

·       Resources should be not be more than 8 years old.  Your textbook and professional journal articles from Troy library are appropriate to use and encouraged.  Your resources should NOT consist of ONLY web sites.  Web sites utilized can only come from .org or .gov sites.

Tips & Pointers – do not simply clump all of your information in one paragraph and slap it on a slide.  Chunk up the information in an organized format with key highlights. I like pictures as it relates to the slides, but it is not necessary for every slide.  You can even insert a video found if it is helpful and adds to your topic.

Remember that this should be a professional presentation!  What would you do to capture the audience’s interest?
