    • Some authors consider him/her... (algunos autores lo/la consideran...)
    • You can also add some quotes if they are interesting.
As an example, I have made my own prezi about the Catholic Queen Elizabeth I of Spain. Why? Because she was one of the best queens ever, and one of the best politicians for Spain.

I hope it helps to you get good ideas!!!
