- Use presentations aids to make your verbal message more concrete
- Adds variety to your presentation
- Can increase listener retention
- It should enhance the presentation, not take away from it
- Examples: object, model, photograph, drawing, diagram, map, graph, audio/visual clip, etc.
- Display them appropriately
- Talk to the audience, not your visual aid
- Consider the size, simplicity and color
No homework.
Preparing for 11/12
We will have a guest speaker, Chris Beall, on Thursday, November 12.
Your next speech will be presented on 11/19. You will deliver the same speech you gave for the first informative speech. Incorporate one presentation aid as we discussed in class last week. You should also refer to the scoring matrix we gave you with presentation feedback. Do you need to make time adjustments? Do you need to practice stronger posture or eye contact? This is an opportunity for a 'do-over' or for some of you, a 'do-even better!"
Each person should turn in an outline of your speech BEFORE you present next week.
