I. Introduction
Write your introduction here
The introduction should introduce all the topics you will be discussing (presenting) in
your Week 7 Milestone 3: Pathophysiology of Disease PPT Presentation. This is not an
introduction for this Milestone 1 Outline. It is the introduction for your Week 7 PPT
Presentation. It should capture the reader’s attention and state the main idea of your
presentation and provide an overview of all the topics you will be presenting in your
Week 7 PPT Presentation.
Please do not just line list the topics because when the topics are line listed they sound
like a Table of Contents which is boring and uninteresting. Be a little more
creative/enthusiastic about your topic especially since you are interested in the topic you
chose. Think about your PPT Presentation on your topic and you are explaining your
assignment to your friends or colleagues. What would you tell them about the topics you
will be presenting in your PPT Presentation? You would provide brief and concise
information to them. This is the type of information you would include in your
introduction.
The Thesis Statement is one or two sentences that contain the focus of your presentation.
Think about the outcome of your PPT Presentation. What do you want your readers to
learn? The Thesis Statement should state why it is important for nurses to be wellinformed on your topic. It should reflect why what you wrote in your presentation is
important and why it is important for people (nurses) to read your presentation. The
Thesis Statement should include why awareness of your topic is important and that your
presentation will provide information as to the importance of your topic.
Avoid using phrases such as “The purpose of this presentation is to….” or “In this
presentation I will attempt to….” Remember, a strong thesis statement summarizes the
main point of your presentation and states why your presentation is important and worth
reading.
