Please tell me the topic you chose in the comments. Thanks!

Questions, Answers and Involving the Audience

After your final presentation you will answer a question from the audience. We will practice how to answer questions as well as how to ask questions to speakers. We will also talk about how to involve the audience in your presentation.

.

In the comments, please tell me which two topics you might do for presentation #2.

.

Fillers and Gestures

We will practice using gestures and fillers in our next class. Please watch these two videos and write your reaction in the comments.

VIDEO 1 : He talks about eye-contact and gestures. What did you learn from this?

VIDEO 2 : Does President Obama use too many fillers in his speech?

Voice

In the next class we will practice using our voices to make our presentations more exciting and communicative.

.

Please watch this video HERE. Watch how the woman's second speech is so much better because she uses her voice differently.

.

In the comments, please tell me what you thought was different about her voice.

Presentation Practice

In the next class you will practice your presentation many times. Concentrate on eye contact, using a clear voice, timing, using your visuals (if you have them) and giving feedback to your classmates.

Our presetnations will be on June 8th!
