Basic Advice for Successful Presentations
1) Consider your audience's knowledge & interest level.
2) Don't read off paper, note cards, or powerpoint slides. 3) Keep your graphics short and effective. 4) Practice, practice, practice. 5) Don't try to include everything about your topic. Think about what you can realistically introduce to your classmates in four minutes and build your presentation around that. (Think back to the Definition assignment.) Powerpoint Presentations: A Student Example
You'll be creating brief presentations for an audience of students. You have roughly four minutes to captivate, inform, and educate an audience of your peers: a pretty tall order! As you won't be able to tell us everything about your project in this short amount of time, you'll need to decide:
1) What is one element about my project that would be of interest to my classmates? 2) What should they learn from my presentation? 3) What graphics, videos, and sounds can I include to keep my audience interested? To the left under "Sample Presentation," you'll find a student's presentation that took into account the above goals and was generally identified as a successful presentation by her classmates.
