We need to stop blaming Powerpoint. It's very easy to create bad presentations with any tool and Powerpoint is not responsible for that. I've created this bad presentation using Keynote. Hope that rests my case!

2. I saw a pig once
I was just a young boy when my family took me to the
county fair. At the county fair, there were all manner of
animals, including cows, horses, sheep, and goats. As we
wandered through the smelly barns, examining the prize
animals of the local farmers, we came upon on building
that smelled far worse than any other. Holding our noses,
we wandered inside. Stalls stretched far ahead on either
side, and as we neared the first, we heard grunting and
snorting. Sure enough, inside the stall was a pig! She was
huge! Pink with black spots, large floppy ears, and a curly
little tail, this pig looked right out of the story books; the
really, really BIG story books! That sure was a pig I won’t
forget!

11. What I Like About Ice Cream
• I really like Ice Cream. It’s cold, which
makes it the perfect treat for a hot day.
It’s sweet, which means it satisfies my
sweet tooth, and finally it’s flavorful,
which satisfies my need for variety.
• Yes, Ice Cream is something I love to
eat not just for dessert, but any time of
day. Even for breakfast!
