Activity 1: Introduction
You are now ready to begin work on the presentation of your research. Unlike a written paper, giving a presentation has a built-in audience, those sitting right in front of you. You will know immediately if your audience is responsive by their expressions and their body language. You will know whether they are paying attention or losing interest. You will see them actively listening or passively falling asleep.
Some of the most effective planning you can do for a presentation is to be aware of how much you can say, what you might show in a visual, and how to organize a tentative script. You will not be reading your script, but it will be a reminder for the important parts of your presentation. This week you will focus on those two things—visuals and a script to make your presentation flow and intrigue your audience.
