Week 8. Presentation Stategies

21/04/08

Lecture:
The lecture was about how to make a good power point and sell and gain respect with what you are saying to the audience. Types of presentations can be:

• Web page, CD-rom, Video
• Essay, Paper
• Oral Presentation

This lecture was also a great tool to me as it gives a few tips and tools to help me if i am to publicly present an assignment. I was told that audiences remember:

• 10% of what they see
• 25% of what they see and hear
• 40% of what they see, hear and write down and
• 60% of what they experience interactively.

Informative speeches typically have three parts:

• Introduction
• Body
• Conclusion (summary, recommendations)

There are six main components of an effective introduction:

1. Attention getter's
2. Thesis statement
3. Audience adaptation
4. Credibility statement
5. Preview
6. Transition to the body

The body should contain; main ideas, orginisational patterns, connective devices, references to outside research.

The conclusion should be brief and tight. It should accomplish:

• Re-assert/ reinforce the thesis
• Review the main points
• Close effectivley

Different strategies for involving the audience are:

• pitch your presentation acording toyour audience
• Use relevant axamples and anecdotes to help explain concepts and ideas
• Ask questions that encourages the audience to think for themselves
• Make eye contact
• Speak clearly- use pause and emphasis effectively
• Reherse your presentation
• Use structure
