Title of Outline (Delete all instructions in blue text prior to submitting your Milestone 1
Outline) I. Introduction Write your introduction here The introduction should introduce all
the topics you will be discussing (presenting) in your Week 7 Milestone 3: Pathophysiology
of Disease PPT Presentation. This is not an introduction for this Milestone 1 Outline. It is the
introduction for your Week 7 PPT Presentation. It should capture the reader’s attention and
state the main idea of your presentation and provide an overview of all the topics you will
be presenting in your Week 7 PPT Presentation. Please do not just line list the topics
because when the topics are line listed they sound like a Table of Contents which is boring
and uninteresting. Be a little more creative/enthusiastic about your topic especially since
you are interested in the topic you chose. Think about your PPT Presentation on your topic
and you are explaining your assignment to your friends or colleagues. What would you tell
them about the topics you will be presenting in your PPT Presentation? You would provide
brief and concise information to them. This is the type of information you would include in
your introduction. The Thesis Statement is one or two sentences that contain the focus of
your presentation. Think about the outcome of your PPT Presentation. What do you want
your readers to learn? The Thesis Statement should state why it is important for nurses to
be wellinformed on your topic. It should reflect why what you wrote in your presentation is
important and why it is important for people (nurses) to read your presentation. The Thesis
Statement should include why awareness of your topic is important and that your
presentation will provide information as to the importance of your topic. Avoid using
phrases such as “The purpose of this presentation is to….” or “In this presentation I will
attempt to….” Remember, a strong thesis statement summarizes the main point of your
presentation and states why your presentation is important and worth reading. II.
