Your text should be between 12- and 16-point font to ensure that it is readable. You should also be considerate of the population that you are targeting by using appropriate vocabulary, design, and tone to convey your points. Be sure to address the following in your handout:
To begin, develop an appropriate title and choose an appropriate image to display.
