Key learning points
- A presentation can be used for a variety of purposes.
- It can be useful to sum up your idea in a one sentence statement of the presentation's key message.
- You should be clear about the who, what, when and how of your presentation.
- A plan is essential if you are going to write effective content for your presentation.
Keywords
Unbiased - able to judge fairly because you are not influenced by your own opinion
Subjective - influenced by personal feelings
Current events - important events that are happening in the world
Advocate - to speak on behalf of a person or group who needs help with representation
Controversial - causing disagreement or discussion
Common misconception
Students often think they have to be balanced when they deliver persuasive presentations.
Be clear about taking a stand and picking a side. A presentation which is clear in its stance has much more impact.
Encourage students to think of ideas that are relevant to them and their community to really draw out what's important to them.
