COMMENTS FROM FIRST ROUND OF FOLDER GRADING:
A) Today I have talked to you about the
history of Dave Mathews,
how his band has changed over the years, and
what I consider were
his best performances.
B) I hope you will remember the topics that I
have covered:
how to choose a dog, the differences between the
breeds, and the most
trustworthy sources of pure-bred dogs.
C) In summary, to prevent and treat cancer eat
plenty of broccoli and cabbage,
have regular checkups, and find out
if you are at high risk due
to family history.
D) In my presentation today I have covered the
history of sea kayaks,
how to choose a sea kayak, and what are my
favorite places to kayak
on Lake Champlain.
E) To sum up, you have now heard about the Lake
Champlain monster Champ:
where most of the sightings have been,
the history of the sightings,
and who has made the sightings.
Try a mind map first, then make the outline of your speech, include the mind-map in the pocket folder.
It is the job of the Master of Ceremonies to ask the audience if there are questions. The speaker should not do this.
Examples of Hooks (other than show of hands):
Tell a personal story, Ask a question at the beginning of your presentation
that you answer at the very end, Play a game with the Audience with a prize,
Demonstrate a skill (juggling, riding a
unicycle, stand on your head, balance on one hand, play a musical
instrument, solve the cube puzzle, do a magic trick).
Take full advantage of the Speaker's Aide: have them control lights, pass out handouts, help with props.
