Google Docs has released dozens of new professionally developed document, spreadsheet, and presentation templates for education and general use. Fortunately for my youngest daughter there are some excellent new science fair templates that will come in very handy tonight as she rushes to finish off her project at the last minute.
One template that I love and I think could help many people (including myself) learn to use persuasive writing and presentations techniques was created by Chip and Dan Heath, the authors of “Make to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die.” In the form of a presentation they give examples of how to use unexpected and/or moving narratives to capture the imagination or your audience and call them to action. Enjoy their Make to Stick Presentation!
