Central Idea=Basic Values
Values are what is most important.
• the things we care about
• our visions of what we want to achieve
• what makes us who we areeither as individuals or as a community.

ISU Students--what are your values?What do you really care about?What makes you who you are?
What makes you who you are, as a community?
What "hats" do ISU
students wear?

Whether you are aiming to entertain or to inspire,
you should have a Central Idea--
one that expresses the values you want to remind your audience about.
You should leave your audience thinking!
