# Presentation and slide storytelling

Read `academic-learning-context` first.

## Talk arc (10–20 min)
- **Hook** (30s) — question, contrast, or vivid example.
- **Roadmap** — three claims you will defend.
- **Body** — one idea per slide; evidence on slide, interpretation spoken.
- **Close** — what we learned + one actionable takeaway.

## Slide rules
- Max ~40 words per slide; one plot per slide; large fonts for rooms.
- Poster: **column flow**, QR to paper, figure-first layout.

## Output
- **Storyboard** (slide title + spoken line + visual).
- **Speaker notes** outline.
- **Q&A prep** — 5 likely questions with 20-second answers.
