Due Date

The Romantic period is a time that is known as being a time of art, literature, and intellect. There were many key players of this time period, but among the most interesting of the individuals was a man named Lord Byron.

The notes for the title slide feature a brief introduction of

the topic at hand. Rather than going into intense detail, it

provides a general overview of the information being

presented within the presentation. The notes are also a

written account of what you would say if you were

presenting the information in a classroom environment.

Notice that while this

presentation does feature

colors, it does not feature colors

that are too overwhelming to

the eye. You do not want to

present information to your

audience in a way that might

distract them from the

information being presented.

Slide 2

GEORGE GORDON BYRON

• Born in London in 1788 (Hanson,

2015)

• Born with a club foot

• Blamed parents for problems

• Inherited title when 10 (“Lord

Byron,” n.d.)

(Westall, 1813)

George Gordon Bryon was a poet and politician that was born in 1788 in London (Hanson, 2015). He was born with a club foot and was taken by his mother, Catherine Gordon, to Scotland where they lived on a low income budget. He was sensitive to the fact that he was born with a club foot, and it made him susceptible to other disadvantages in life. However, despite the disadvantages he faced growing up, he inherited the title of Lord when he was 10 (“Lord Byron,” n.d.). He blamed his mother for his deformity and his father abandoning him, so he, in turn, was very isolated and lonely.

Notice that there is a citation in the slide and

in the notes portion. This is because both

require you to cite information that is pulled

from an outside source. Citations must be

featured on the slide as well as in the notes

section following the information that was

pulled from that source.

The information that is presented in

the heading of the slide is in a larger

font than the bullet points on the

slide. This is acceptable as the

heading is letting the audience know,

briefly, what the slide covers. For

more information on formatting

PRE -PUBL IC ATIO N • Attended Trinity college –

1805 – 1808

• Had a dog he loved named

Boatswain that he could not

take to college

• Took a trained bear instead

• When he left, the bear went

with him

• Boatswain – died in 1808

• Buried together

(Simonovski, 2017) (Phillips, 1835).

Byron attended Trinity College in Cambridge in 1805 until 1808 (Simonovski, 2017). During this time, Byron also had a pet Newfoundland named Boatswain. The college did not allow dogs, so Byron thought it would be best to bring a trained bear as his pet to his time. When he left the college in 1808, he took the bear with him. His beloved Newfoundland, Boatswain, died in 1808. Byron is buried next to his dog, who has a bigger gravestone.

Because this slide only uses one

source, it should fall in the

bottom right corner of the slide.

On the previous slide, the

citations followed the

appropriate information since

there was more than one

citation being used. Notice that below the

image used, there is an

in-text citation that

includes the artist’s

name and the year

created.

A BR IEF O VERVIEW O F H IS L IFE

• “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage” – 1812

• Traveled throughout Europe

• Joined the Greek insurgents in 1823

• Died in 1824

(“Lord Byron,” n.d.)

Byron became famous in 1812 with the publication of the first two cantos of “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage” (“Lord Byron,” n.d.). He skyrocketed to fame at that point. After this, he traveled a lot and had several children with several women. In 1823, he left to join the Greek insurgents fight in their war for independence and contracted a fever. He died in April of 1824 in Greece.

Notice that the information presented on

the slide is an outline of the information

further discussed within the text. This is

due to the nature of presentations.

PowerPoints should try to follow the 7×7

rule – no more than 7 lines of text and no

more than 7 words for each line. This rule is

not absolute, but is recommended. Check

your syllabus for specifics.

THE BURN ING

– Left memoirs with

publisher

• Group determined

that they would

destroy his reputation

• Memoirs were burned

Image of letter from Lord Byron to John M urray (Byron, 1819)

(“The Burning of Lord Byron’s Diaries,” 2011)

Byron had written and left memoirs with his publisher, John Murray (“The Burning of Lord Byron’s Diaries,” 2011). However, a group of individuals read and determined that the memoirs could potentially ruin the public’s perception of Byron posthumously. The burning occurred in a publishing house in Piccadilly. Today, a portrait of Byron still hangs over the fireplace where his memoirs were burned.

Because it might not be obvious what

this image is, it features a brief

caption under the image to further

explain to the audience what they are

looking at.

Your references still need to include a hanging indent.

1. Type out your references. Do not overwhelm your slide with them. Just like a reference page, you can have multiple slides with this information. 2. Make sure that your references are not in a bulleted list. This will make formatting the hanging indent impossible. 3. At the top of your screen, go to the View tab. 4. On the View tab, go to the Show portion. Make sure that the box next to Ruler is checked. This will bring up a ruler on your PowerPoint Screen. 5. Highlight the entirety of your references listed. 6. On the ruler bar, there is an hourglass figure. There are three portions of this. Move the middle portion to 0.5”

This should format your hanging indent. Repeat this as necessary.

okay to break them up into two
