I combined Duarte and Sinek's techniques for this PowerPoint presentation, so I started designing a display that met my audience's needs and created my story. After the Why was clear, I began to outline the narrative.

I  started pointing out the reality of our PDs (status quo), making my audience aware that we have a problem. I showed why it is crucial to change this practice and what we can lose if we continue doing it. I gave them the role of the hero and made them feel they had the power to change it. I will offer a solution with my Alternative PL proposal (what). Finally, I showed my audience how following Gulamhussein's five principles of an effective PL can make a difference. My next step was deciding on the software I wanted to use. Since I would use slides, audio, and video as a final product, I chose PowerPoint 360. Through the slides, I started spreading my ideas with images that illustrate my point, inspire the audience, and help them see the message. When the slides were ready, I started practicing out loud before I recorded. It took me longer than I expected because I wanted to sound myself but inspiring and clear. Finally, when satisfied, I recorded my presentation, exported it as a video, uploaded it to youtube, and added it to my e-Portfolio.
