Task Task YouTube Images Skim readings to pinpoint relevant sections for your presentation. Consider a variety of materials to incorporate. Physical objects
Task Task . Write notes and create a concept map of how ideas tie together. • Use the concept map to consider the relationships between each piece of information.
Audience Consider the audience • How much do they already know? • How much is too much information? Audience
What is your speaking style? Lawyer—enjoys argument and debate • Ask the audience questions Politician—enjoys inspiring people • Highlight the impact of ideas in broader domains. Speaker Comedian—enjoys making jokes? • Allow time to interact with the audience. Teacher—enjoys educating • Use different modalities, e.g. sound, sight, touch to engage the audience
Speaker How much do you already know about the topic? Use information and resources you feel comfortable with. Include small facts that you find fascinating • The audience will be more receptive if they see you enjoying yourself Speaker
Research Once you have a collection of notes, ideas, objects, multi-media content etc..., it is time to write the presentation itself.
Writing Try writing directly into PowerPoint Writing a presentation means putting together a logical sequence of ideas to satisfy the task. Use brief bullet points, concept maps or numbered ideas to show how each part connects to the next.
PowerPoint Tips 50 words is only 2 Tweets Each slide should have less than 50 words Write detailed notes below each slide for reference Use a font size over 20pt
PowerPoint Tips Use a visual marker to structure your talk Avoid Clashing colours, strange angles and wordy descriptions of what you are writing that will be hard to read and distract the audience. Aim for at least one graphic per slide
1 The structure of the talk should be outlined Summarize the main points of the talk. 2 3 The scope (or limits) should be explained
Each section should develop one idea Support claims with evidence Link sections together to create flow.
Structure Summarize the main points of your presentation. Repeat the main point of the presentation Restate your thesis
Practise Practising a presentation is as important as editing an essay. Practise your presentation with a friend. Record an MP3 of yourself talking and learn how to speak more clearly
Practise Time yourself Become familiar with the technology you need to use Be mindful of physical habits like touching hair or pacing up and down
