3. Peer Editing of the PowerPoint -

Here are the guidelines:
Slide #1: Title and Your Name
Slide #2: Identify the problem - make your claim
Slides 3, 4, 5: Explain the causes of the problem. This answers "because" and possibly gives evidence.
Slides 6, 7, 8: Explain the effects of the problem - This is more evidence.
Slides 9, 10, 11: Call to action - give the viewers concrete examples of what can be done and explain what difference their actions will make. (This section contains another claim, more reasons, and more evidence.
Slide 12: Works Cited page - This should look just like the Works Cited page in your essay.
