  3. The Role of Presentation Aids • Presentation Aids • Can be audio or visual • Help the audience • - see relationships • - remember material • Should be used to supplement, rather than serve as your ideas

  4. Memory & Presentation Aids Percent of Speech Remembered After…

  5. When to Use? The first step is to establishthe need for an aid. Once your speech is complete, read through to identify places where an aid would clarify your ideas.

  6. Timing • Display your aid only when you • are about to discuss it • Otherwise, the audience my • become distracted if they see • something they do not • understand

  7. Simplicity is Important Concentrate on presenting one major idea per aid.

  8. Place Aids Carefully Make certain that the audience can see and hear your aids, and that you can access them easily without interrupting the flow of your speech

  9. What Aids Should You Use? The selection and use of particular types of presentation aids should be based on the speech content, the audience, and the occasion.

  10. Basic Guidelines for Aids • Make it easy to see • Keep it simple • Make it consistent with objective • Maintain eye contact • Talk about visual aid

  11. Additional Considerations • Don’t pass items around • Use nothing dangerous or illegal • Avoid using live animals • Prepare for problems (have • backups)

  12. Types of Visual Aids • Slides • Posters • Objects • Models • Handouts

  13. Types of Visual Aids, cont. • Flip charts • Chalkboards • Audio/video clips • Overhead transparencies • Projected computer graphics

  15. A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words “Hanging from a small pin pounded into the mountain surface can be an exciting, if dangerous, activity.”

  16. A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words

  17. Chalkboard Use for simple explanations Remember -- the processes of writing or drawing reduce contact between the presenter and the audience

  18. Practice With the Aid Practice the presentation as it will actually be performed Plan on what to say during “dead time,” such as time spent walking over to an overhead

  19. Gettysburg Address Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
