· For help with research, writing, and citation, access the
library.
· Combine all of your slides from week 3, week 6, and this week’s assignment together into one singular presentation file. This is your full pitch deck that you would present to the company leadership. (Note: See the guide in the resources section for help on how to reuse and combine slides together in a PowerPoint presentation.)
· Produce writing that is clear and well organized and applies appropriate
Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) style. Writing contains accurate grammar, mechanics, and spelling.
Be sure to read the assignment instructions for detail needed for each slide. Be sure to compare your work to the Rubric. Note that in the template provided in Canvas, Slide 2 is instructional and should be deleted – once you insert your Week 3 and Week 6 assignments into the template, your Week 9 PPT should end up in the order shown below. So yes, you are to use what you already wrote in Weeks 3 and 6 into this assignment – be sure to review your gradebook comments first to see if there is any room for improvement.
