The intruder, a criminal who had killed a policeman, broke into the cottage of Gerrard in an attempt to impersonate him and escape the police. When confronted by Gerrard, the intruder threatened him with a revolver and said he intended to kill Gerrard and take his identity. However, Gerrard warned the intruder that killing him would result in being hanged for murder. This gave Gerrard an opportunity to trick the intruder into a cupboard, where he pushed him inside, grabbed the revolver, and called the police to arrest the intruder.
2. Read before you do
Presentation should be a teaching aid only and not the stuff to puzzle the students
Avoid useless animations, make it simple
Keep light backgrounds as rich colours strain human eyes
Use pictures only if they are relevant
If the contents in a slide deserves attention, avoid pictures
Keep in mind the length of the period and level of the students
Crux of the story or lesson should not be the first slide
