Advanced PC Applications (v2) : Lesson 4 : Page 6© 2020 Penn Foster Inc.
similar to the figure.

[An image of a slide showing a chart and chart data labels]

11. Add the following lecture notes to slide 3, Homelessness:
The issues related to homelessness are complex.
Working homeless individuals hold a job but may not be making
enough to afford housing.
Homelessness can occur when a child in foster care turns 18
and doesn’t have the needed support to transition to
independent living.
Veterans can suffer from mental illness, poor health, disabilities,
Advanced PC Applications (v2) : Lesson 4 : Page 8© 2020 Penn Foster Inc.
or a combination of any of these.
Other problems that increase risk of homelessness are related
to mental illness, domestic violence, disability, poor physical
health, and substance abuse.
12. Add the following lecture notes to slide 6: How can our college
community help?
Our college campus community can help reduce hunger for
those in need. The Backpack program may be especially
popular on a college campus because this effort fills school
backpacks with nonperishable nutritious snacks and school
supplies for elementary students.
13. Apply the Uncover transition to all the slides.
[An image of slides shown in Slide Sorter view]
14. Set the presentation to advance the slide show after 5.00 seconds
and apply this option to all slides. In Slide Sorter view, your
presentation should look like the figure.
