Include in-text citations just like you
would in a paper:
(Author, date, p. #)
You can make the in-text citations
smaller or less noticeable, but the
sources of your information should
be clear!
If the author is an organization,
give the full name of the
organization the first time you
cite it and include the
abbreviation.
When you cite that source again,
you can just use the abbreviation.
When you include a picture, label it with “Figure #”
and a brief caption. Include an in-text citation for
the source of your image. Make sure that source
is also in your list of references at the end of the
presentation.
