Three ways to find templates:
1. Click on “File” and “New.”
2. Under the “Design” tab, you will see templates at the top of the screen.
3. Also under the “Design” tab, click on “Design Ideas” at the top right. You will see lots of cool slide options. If one slide doesn’t work, try another one.
Make your presentation interesting and colorful! (The white slides shown in this sample template are primarily to show good organization, etc.)

You can use this space for bullet points, photos with captions, etc. Include citations (on the slide) and complete source information (on the Works Cited/References page) for any information you obtained from a source.

Ways to adopt
According to Home Study Specialist Michael Smith, there are several avenues one can take in pursuing adoption (2019). Some of these include:
An adoption agency
Independent adoption
Family or friend referral
International
Domestic
Church organization
I designed this page using the “Design Ideas” I explained in the Notes section of Slide 1. The image is free for use, as I explained on slide 9.

Works Cited
Carty, Thomas. “JOHN KENNEDY, RELIGION, AND FOREIGN POLICY.” The Review of Faith & International Affairs, vol. 9, no. 4, Taylor & Francis Ltd., Dec. 2011, pp. 51–59, doi:10.1080/15570274.2011.630203. https://apus.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=proquest1034964832&context=PC&vid=01APUS_INST:01APUS&lang=en&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&adaptor=Primo%20Central&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,john%20kennedy&facet=tlevel,include,peer_reviewed&offset=0
Helpful Hint: Use our library! It contains practically a limitless amount of information and credible sources. View the tutorials on the APUS library home page to learn how to navigate the library. E-mail or chat with a librarian for help. Also, notice the CITE button that appears with each source. It will format your Works Cited for you! Just select which style you want and copy and paste into your document. If needed, you can verify that it is correct using the link below. If the formatting is weird, you can do a “paste special” and adjust to your liking.
Don’t forget that you will use the title Works Cited if you are using MLA style. Use References for APA. For other styles, consult Purdue OWL. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/purdue_owl.html
Carty is a sample MLA Works Cited entry (using the cite button in our library).

Photo credits
You can put your photo credits on a separate page so that your Works Cited won’t look too jumbled.
Tip: On Google, type in what picture you want to search for, like “children playing.” Click Images, Filter, License, then “Free to share, modify, or use commercially.” For images that appear using this search (like the one at right), no credit or citation is required.
If all of your photos are free for use, put the following sentence at the bottom of your Works Cited or on a Photo Credits page:
All images presented in this document are free to share, modify, or use commercially.
