ABOUT THIS SLIDE PRESENTATION

Each slide may or may not have an animation embedded. To help you cue – at the completion of each slide, a silver arrow will appear.

This is your cue to advance to the next slide using your right arrow key. Please do NOT ADVANCE to the next slide until you see the silver arrow!

If there is a plus sign rather than the arrow, it means there is more to the animation – and your cue to click the ENTER key. When the entire animation on that slide is complete, the silver arrow will appear – and your cue to advance to the next slide.

The title workshop slate, break slate, quiz, and answer sections do not have either arrow or plus symbols. No animations are associated with these slides.
