Chapter 9: Outlining Overhead presentation

Ch.11 Using Notes Will Work For you • Most speakers use notes of some kind, these can be anything from teleprompters to cue cards. Presenting or speaking with out notes is unpredictable and dangerous, it is good to use notes because: • they keep you focused • get you back on track if you go blank • act as a security blanket when you are nervous

Preparing your Notes • There are many different styles of notes that you can use, choose a style that works for you. However, a few general rules to follow: • use cards for short presentations/paper for long ones • use a large font • use keywords and main ideas • write out introductions and conclusions • include transitional phrases • use only one side • number your cards • use as few as possible • give yourself stage direction on your notes • use color • *if being graded on your notes, always follow the instructions

Practice and Preparation • So now that you have the best possible notes for your presentation, what do you do with them? Familiarize yourself with them by practicing, another good tip is to make extra copies of them and keep them on you; it’s not going to do any good to have great note cards that you can’t find when you need them. Something's to tackle while rehearsing or practicing: • find an environment similar to your presentation • be comfortable holding your note cards • keep notes inconspicuous • video tape yourself or practice in front of a mirror

Using your Cards During the Presentation • Now that your presenting, there are a few things you want to remember to help you interrogate your notes into your performance. Above all, be smooth, calm and prepared after all your practice, right? • Hold them in one hand, don’t pocket them! • If possible, don’t hold them during speech • don’t draw attention to your cards • look at your audience; not your notes • don’t memorize • don’t rearrange note cards
