Our brain is designed to consume visual content. Some data: 90% of the information we process comes through our sight, and we process visual content up to 60,000 times faster than text. That's why visual communication is more effective.

We better capture visual content. Visual content is associated with cognitive and psychological mechanisms. Things enter through the eyes; the first image is the one that counts. We associate visual content with emotions.

Pose a dramatic question; it's the essential ingredient for keeping the audience's attention. It's often posed subtly at the beginning of the story to intrigue the audience and is resolved at the end.

Bibliography

01

Use this great space to write your sources of information. Citing where you got the info is always a plus.

02

APA Style (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association) is essential when citing bibliography.

These are a series of guidelines for citing any type of project: thesis, reports, presentations… Whatever it is!

03

04

These references include information about the author, the publication date, the title, and the source.

05

Here’s a small guide: use Arial or Times New Roman font, 12 pt, line spacing 2.0, left-aligned and not justified.

It is also important to list all the sources you have cited throughout the article. To do this, create a references page after the main body.

06

Self-Assessment

Drag your assessment of what you've learned to its position.

You can create an outline to synthesize the content and use words that will be etched in the minds of your audience.

If you are going to present live, we recommend that you train your voice and practice: the best improvisation is always the most rehearsed!

Show enthusiasm, flash a smile, and maintain eye contact with your audience: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie.' Leave them in awe.

Numbered ideas are remembered much better than bullet point lists.
