-Treat them as note cards you would have if you were giving your presentation live
-There needs to be some notes on every slide; the length does not need to be the same

TIPS:
1) Make your slideshow visually appealing and engaging but NOT distracting -- pictures and gifs are encouraged but too many take away from the your message and your audience's focus
2) Try to use HIGH QUALITY images on your slides that match up with what you want to say and show
3) DO NOT have too many images on the same slide -- it is better to have 1 really great image than a collage of many great images
4) DO NOT have a lot of text on your slides.
5) Your audience should be focused on what YOU ARE SAYING and NOT spending time reading off your slide -- otherwise you are not engaging your audience
6) Sometimes LESS is MORE on your slides -- just make sure you have good speaker notes so you know what is the point and purpose of each slide
