The following pages explore a useful form of navigation called SHOWCASE that allows a presenter to select individual slides, simply by clicking icons on a switchboard. In this exercise we will build a whimsical presentation known as "The Chicken" that works well as a mixer to entertain audiences. Keep in mind that the same techniques can be applied to a wide variety of content categories and contexts. Think about how these same ideas might be useful in your situation.
