The third slide of every lecture/Power Point is "Lesson Agenda." I recommend dividing each lesson into three sections, so that there are three bullets on this slide - one per section of the lecture. I do not recommend including sub-bullets on this slide. Keep it simple. Here you are pointing students to the general outline of what they will be hearing and reading in this respective lecture.

In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder.
WHY the rise in lesbian and gay characters
1. The trend towards deregulation and the expansion in the number of cable channels has created more opportunities for a range of programs containing images of sexual minorities.
2. Lesbian and gay consumers have gained more interest from advertisers as a demographic social group with relatively more disposable income to spend.
