Due Date: November 28 and 30, 2023

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 or Google Slide Show with no more than eight (8) and no less than five (5) slides. One slide for the introduction, one for the close, and one or two each for each main point. Slides should follow the Six and Six Rule – no more than six line of no more than six words each. Pictures are great.

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 (Tell us your “why”):

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

Transition: (Take us to the second main point)

II. Main Point Two (tell us about your technical skills):

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

Transition: (Take us to the third main point)

III. Main Point Three (tell us about your Success Skills):

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)
