• Outline the group’s strategies and tactics for success.
• Describe one to three strategies that the group will use. A strategy is a general plan that will move the group toward success, such as using direct lobbying of policy makers or using the court system.
• Describe two to three tactics that the group will use. A tactic is a specific action that works to make a strategy successful. See the table below to better understand how strategies and tactics relate.

• Include a title slide.
• Content slides need to meet the requirements listed below.
• You should have a minimum of 10 slides, not counting the title slide, the references slide, or any slide only consisting of one or more photographs with no substantive text.
• Include at least five photos in the presentation, but the photo(s) cannot be the only item(s) on a slide.
• Include at least two charts or graphics.
• Graphics and photos must be clear and cited.
• Make certain to follow the recommendations for designing the presentation.
• It is strongly recommended that the presentation be separated into clear sections.
• Select a simple, uncluttered PowerPoint design theme.
• The work should be the focus of the presentation—not the slide theme.
• Use contrasting background and text for ease of reading (i.e., if using a dark background, use a light color text and vice versa).
• Minimize the use of slide and transition animation as these can become distracting.
