# Plan a carousel as a sequence

AI Content Creation | Module 07: Write social content that helps

## Your goal

Give every slide one job and a logical order.

A carousel is a sequence, not a paragraph split into equal pieces. Begin with the reader problem, explain the useful information, then finish with the next action.

Sketch the slides before designing them. Use short headings and leave enough space for text at a readable size. Important details should not depend on a decorative image.

A five-slide workshop sequence could cover the worn notebook, what to bring, what is supplied, time and location, and registration. Confirm the missing date and link before release.

## Source pack

FICTIONAL PRACTICE BRIEF: Green Bench is a student repair club. It runs a free notebook-cover repair workshop on Saturday, 14:00 to 16:00, in Room B. There are 12 places. Learners bring one worn notebook; tools and scrap card are provided. Register using the club form. No date, form URL, access arrangements, impact figures, or testimonials have been supplied. Ask the organiser about missing details before publishing. This is a creative exercise, not a real event.

## Worked example

Outline a five-slide carousel for the workshop.

### Slides one and two

Slide one: Torn notebook cover? Slide two: Bring one worn notebook to our free repair workshop.

### Slides three to five

Slide three: Tools and scrap card are supplied. Slide four: Saturday, 14:00 to 16:00, Room B. Slide five: Register through the club form.

### Design and review

Use one message per slide, readable text, and a matching caption. Confirm the date and registration link before publishing.

## Your work
