An example of a "bad" presentation, put together for Dr. Sherman's Fall 2015 EDET 620 course at Radford University

1. Gettysburg
An Introduction

2. Causes
• Lee sought to invade the
Union, taking pressure off of
the Confederacy as a whole,
and potentially diverting
Union forces away from the
besieged Confederate
stronghold at Vicksburg

3. Losses at Gettysburg
• Fought over the course of three days
• Each single day of fighting represents some of
the bloodiest battles in American history
• On the second day alone, the Union and
Confederate armies, under Generals Meade
and Lee respectively, took over 50,000
combined casualties

4. Aftermath
At the dedication of the cemetery,
Abraham Lincoln gave his famous
“Gettysburg Address,” now
considered one of the finest examples
of oration in the English language. In
it, he rededicated himself to the war,
and redefined its purpose, from a
question of states’rights, to one of
human rights.
