  2. TextPulls • A text pull is when a small selection of text is pulled out and quoted in a larger font type

  3. TextPull, example 1 Public participation in local government comprehensive land use planning benefits Florida’s natural resources, scenic beauty and citizens.

  4. TextPull, example 2 Public participation in local government comprehensive land use planning benefits Florida’s natural resources, scenic beauty and citizens.

  5. TextPull, example 3 Public participation in local government comprehensive land use planning benefits Florida’s natural resources, scenic beauty and citizens.

  6. To Create a TextPull • Four Parts • The Scan • The Pull • The Citation • The Highlighting

  7. The Scan

  8. Screen Capture

  9. Vista Snipping Tool

  10. SNAGIT

  11. SNAGIT • You can get SNAGIT at: http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.asp

  12. Image Editors • Almost any image editing software will allow you to crop or resize graphics • Examples: Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or Lview Pro

  13. The Pull • The purpose of the pull is to single out an important sound bite from an essential document.

  14. Ways to Pull Text • Type • This usually gives the clearest result • Blow up image • Especially useful if it is something like a signature or a handwritten note • Sometimes a combination is best • An image of the full page and then a pull that is retyped.

  15. Blowup, example

  16. The Citation • Text pulls should be carefully cited • Both descriptively • Letter of 10/20/99 from X to Y • And trial identification • Exhibit number

  17. Citation, example Public participation in local government comprehensive land use planning benefits Florida’s natural resources, scenic beauty and citizens. #SC06-161 – Advisory Opinion to the Attorney General re: Referenda Required for Adoption and Amendment of Local Government Comprehensive Land Use Plans

  18. Highlighting • Highlighting the text in the original document shows where the pulled text is located. • This helps to authenticate the pull • It also emphasizes important information

  19. Highlighting • Most programs that allow editing have a highlighting feature • Adobe Acrobat under Tools/Commenting/Highlight Text Tool • MS Powerpoint on the Drawing Toolbar, draw a rectangle around the object you want highlighted, right click and choose Format Auto Shape then set the background color. • In MS Word, on the formatting toolbar, click highlighting

  20. PowerPoint Drawing Feature • To use PowerPoints drawing feature • For Office 2003 Click on View and then under Toolbars make sure Drawing is checked • For Office 2007 and 2010 go to the Insert ribbon

  21. Powerpoint Drawing • The drawing bar will appear at the bottom of your PowerPoint display if using PowerPoint 2003

  22. Other Types of TextPulls • Juxtaposed Textpulls • Compares text from two or more sources to show either convergence or divergence • Thematic Textpulls • May show multiple quotations on the same topic or issue • Supporting Textpulls • Used to supplement other sources such as a timeline

  23. Timelines • A timeline is a way of organizing events in chronological order

  24. Timelines • Most timelines are divided into two or three parts • The timebar • Written entries • And possibly icons or graphics to visually communicate an important event.

  25. Timebar, example 1 Date Put text describing event here Date Put text describing event here Date Icon, graphic, textpull here JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JULY AUG

  26. Timebar, example 2

  27. Timebar, example 3

  28. Types of Timelines • Macrotimelines • Microtimelines • Topical timelines • Action/Reaction Timelines

  29. Macrotimelines • The view from a height

  30. View from a Height (good overview, but not much detail)

  31. View from a Height (more detail)

  32. View from not so High(much more detail)

  33. Microtimelines • Use a microtimeline with a macrotimeline to focus on smaller but important time periods

  34. How Not to Do a Timeline

  35. Microtimeline of Previous 1895 1985 1930-1934 Creation of Union of Soviet Writers Formulation of Socialist Realism First all-Union Congress of Soviet Writers Union Adopts Socialist realism (in by-laws) Suicide of Mayakovsky 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934

  36. Other Types of Timelines • Segmented timelines • Breaks content into phases or segments • Layer Cake timelines • Breaks content into layers with different content in each layer • Sequential timelines • Use when the date of events is less important than the sequence of events • Juxtaposed timelines • Used to compare or contrast information

  37. Flowcharts, example 1

  38. Flowcharts, example 2

  39. PowerPoint Flowchart Feature • From the drawing toolbar click on AutoShapes and then Flowchart • Drag the shape you want into the PowerPoint presentation

  40. PowerPoint Shapes With Office 2010 go to the Insert ribbon and choose Shapes.

  41. Flowchart • In PowerPoint 2007 you can use SmartArt graphic to make a flowchart
