  4. Grading Rubric

  5. Giving your Presentation Things to keep in mind – Topic Selection • Choose something that appeals to the entire group. • Consider your audience • Choose something you can cover adequately in the 5-10 minute time frame • Make sure your topic can be easily broken into the assigned format

  6. Giving your presentation Organizing your thoughts • Map out an outline • Stick to the 5 paragraph essay format • Know what kind of presentation you’re giving (informative, demonstrative, persuasive, etc) • Know what you are going to say • Know what your partners are going to say • Practice with your group ahead of time

  7. Giving your Presentation Delivery • Start with a bang – Capture the audience’s attention. • Don’t be afraid to use note cards as queues for talking points. • Don’t stand in front of the class reading your material directly from your notes.

  8. Giving your Presentation Visual Aids • Choose your medium carefully, make sure it maximizes the impact of your presentation. • Rehearse WITH your Visual Aids ahead of time. • Make sure any A/V equipment you need is working ahead of time. • Handouts – don’t give the whole presentation away at the beginning. • Power Point – Use an easily readable design

  9. EXAMPLE SLIDE • This is a readable slide • The font contrasts well against the background • The associated picture is relevant to the topic • The slide is not overloaded with information

  10. Bad Example Slide • This is a less readable slide • The words are difficult to make out and abrasive to the eyes • The slide is busy with information • The image has seemingly nothing to do with the topic • The silde has speling errors • The slide is overloaded with information • Oh my goodness, I can’t believe there’s another bullet point. • What are the presenters even talking about?

  11. Giving your Presentation Reducing Anxiety • It is perfectly normal to be nervous before a presentation • Reduce Anxiety by: • Choosing a topic you care about • Rehearsing • Being fully prepared • Remembering you notice your own mistakes more than others • Being yourself

  12. Giving your Presentation Final Tips • Move around a bit • Don’t talk to fast – be sure to enunciate • Look at the crowd, not at your paper/notes/slideshow • Empty your pockets • Move your focus from person to person as you speak • Be mindful of the time • Have fun!
