1. Introduction: The title of the talk, your name.
2. Background: Why you chose this topic. Why it is important. What the audience should get out of this talk.
3. The Body: The real guts of the talk. (This is where you might have several slides but not more than four!)
4. Conclusions: Confirm why this is an important topic. Summarize the major points.
5. Closing: Let everyone know that you are done. A preacher gets away with this by closing with a prayer. In your case you need a LAST sentence that starts off "And finally ..." or something similar. Do not be left there with everyone expecting you to say something else.
