Due Date: November 28 and December 1, 2022

You each will give a 3-5 min presentation to “sell” yourselves to your classmates for placement in to groups for next semester. You will prepare a typed, formal outline for the speech that will be turned in on your blog the day you speak. I have provided a template below that you are to use to create that outline. For your visual aid, you will create a PowerPoint with no more than six (6) and no less than four (4) slides. As you present your speeches, your classmates will take notes as part of their own grade.

Please use the following preparation outline:

Introduction:

I. Attention Getter: (Tell us something that will immediately grab our attention)

II. Listener Relevance: (Tell us why we should listen to this presentation)

III. Speaker Credibility: (What research/personal experience make you credible on this topic)

IV. Thesis Statement: (In one sentence, what is the goal of your speech?)

V. Preview: (Tell us specifically and concisely, in order, what your main points will be.)

Transition: (Take us to the first main point)

Body:

I. Main Point One (perhaps tell us about technical skills):

Listener Relevance Link: (Tell us how this point connects to us)

Transition: (Take us to the second main point)

II. Main Point Two (perhaps this is where your communication skills fit in):

Listener Relevance Link: (Tell us how this point connects to us)

Transition:(Take us to the conclusion)

Conclusion:

I. Restate Thesis (Restate the main idea of the presentation)

II. Main Point Summary (Explicitly review the main points you talked about)

III. Clincher (Refer back to attention getter)
