Chapter 13

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Good afternoon and welcome to my presentation!
  • #3 Here are the objectives for Chapter 13. There are 6 of them. I would not dare read them to you. That would be insulting to your intelligence.
  • #4 Likewise, there are lots of Key Terms in Chapter 13. Twenty four in all. There were so many that I had to spread them out over 3 PowerPoint slides.
  • #5 See? I told you there were a lot of Key Terms. Some of them have acronyms.
  • #6 Okay, here is the last page of Key Terms. By the end of my presentation you should know all of them. Actually, if you have read the chapter like you were asked, you’d already know almost all of these terms.
  • #7 On page 273 we find a description of platform framing. Who can tell me why it is called platform framing? Here’s a big hint: READ THE FIRST SENTENCE UNDER THE WORDS “PLATFORM FRAMING” on page 273. Good job!!!
