AND AND
THEREFORE
Rose was a rich
young firecracker
unhappily engaged
to a steel tycoon
Jack was a poor
guy with a big
heart and a sense
of adventure they fell in love
Rose lived a full life while
always keeping Jack in her
heart and the ocean in her
pocket.
BUT
the boat sank and
Jack died
24. An ABT for this talk
AND BUT
THEREFORE
It’s basically
expected these days
that presentations
will be accompanied
by slides
People are used to
their slides serving
as a teleprompter
instead of a visual
aid
People can’t read
and listen at the
same time
You must learn a different way of making slides
if you would like your audience to understand
and remember what you said during your talk.

30. Do you need a slide?
▶ Does it clarify a concept?
NO
NO Does it sustain interest
(or other affective function)?
Does it
help them
remember? NO
STOP!
Your slide is probably
functioning as
teleprompter
YES
YES
YES
PROCEED!

71. Pros
• Wolves feed on livestock for food contributing
to economic losses
• Wolf populations have been increasing in
many areas of the US
• Wolves have been actively hunted since
12,000 to 13,000 years ago
• All wolves are the same species so having
wolves only in certain areas of the country
72. Cons
• Packs are often broken up into smaller groups
if they’re hunted
• Alpha wolves may be more likely to be killed
• Smaller packs may resort to feeding on
livestock for food
• The loss of key members of the pack with
specific skills leaves gaps in the pack
73. Efforts
• After the gray wolf was removed from the endangered species list
for the western great lakes region in January 2012, the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources instituted a hunting season to
manage the population.
– Season ran from November 3, 2012 through the 18th, 2012 in some
regions and continued November 24, 2012 and ran through January 31,
2013 or until the tag limit was reached.
– That limit was set at a target of 400 wolves across the state.
– The total number of wolves harvested in this inaugural season was 412
wolves.
• On December 19, 2014 a US Federal Court ordered a stop to the
hunting of wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin and in Michigan.
74. Conclusions
• People need to understand both sides
• Stakeholders:
– Environmental groups
– Farmers and ranchers
– State and federal agencies
– Others

increasing in their
population
the gray wolf was
removed from the
endangered species
list for the western

that packs are often
broken up into
smaller groups if
they’re hunted
In 2014 a US Federal
Court ordered a stop to
the hunting of wolves
in the western Great
Lakes.
