Week 6 discussion advance writing

Discussion Topic 2 – Preparing a PowerPoint Presentation
Review and Write:  After reading the blog by Jamie Cartright on PowerPoint design, choose a topic of your choice and prepare a short PowerPoint presentation (about five or six slides) and submit it to the discussion thread as an attachment.  You may briefly describe the content in your discussion post.  Focus on including more graphical elements than you might normally have in a presentation.  Include new and creative elements in your slides.  Include more graphic elements than you probably would include in a typical presentation.  The purpose is for you to learn how to use more features in PowerPoint than you currently (probably) know how to do.  There should be very little text on your slides.  This exercise will give you excellent practice for preparing a PowerPoint in your job.  Write a very brief description in your discussion post, and attach and upload your PowerPoint presentation. 
 
Discussion Topic 3 – Frequently Confused Words
Review and Write: There are many words in the English language that are confused because they sound either exactly the same or similar to each other, but have very different meanings.  
Review the list of 30 pairs of words below. Match the meaning with the correct word for 20 word pairs.  Then, choose 10 pairs of words and write a sentence using the word.  You may choose to create a new table in the discussion thread or find an easier way to answer this post.
Here is the first example:  Personal = private; personnel = employees.  I received a letter marked “personal and confidential.” There are many personnel in our company based in the Midwest.
