Activity 1: Introduction
In order to deliver your presentation in a natural, engaging way, practice is critical. It is also important to practice your presentation to fit a given time frame. Therefore, it is best to practice or rehearse aloud. The more you practice, the better you’ll perform.
Keep in mind that you need to be conversational with your audience rather than reading to them. It can be advantageous to use stories, narratives and examples to illustrate main points of your presentation . Remember to forecast what you are going to cover in your introduction. Focus on your main points by incorporating your visual aids and voice inflection.
Stop and make eye contact, and stand as you present. When it is appropriate, gesture to emphasize your points. Think about speaking clearly and loud enough for your audience to hear everything you say. Finally, summarize your main points and leave your audience with an image, example or key idea to remind them of your thesis.
