How to Create the PERFECT BULLET: Part 1

Writing an Assertion

1. Look at your bullet-point slide and work out the single point you are trying to make with the slide. For instance with the statement could be “The Defenent was not paying attention”. Now write your assertion as a complete sentence.

2. The assertion should be short, but not so short that it’s cryptic. It’s more important for the assertion to say something meaningful, than to be short.

3. The assertion should not be a question - a question doesn’t leverage the power of displaying your point on the slide. The assertion should be the answer to the question.
