Lesson 11 – The Body Practice and Conclusions

The Body Practice
You presented to small groups and received feedback. Use this feedback to improve your presentations. 


The Conclusion
I gave you another handout for you to use for preparing your conclusion. Next week, you will give your presentation to a small group.

Next week, I will also give you some tips on ending well and on handling the question and answer time.

Your final presentation should be between 10 and 11 minutes with a 5 minute Q & A time.

Lesson 10 – Introductions Practice and The Body

Introduction Practice

We looked at each other's introductions and gave and received feedback. You should consider the feedback and make adjustments and improvements to your introductions.

With you PUNCH, consider not beginning with a title slide, but with an image or a text question. 

Also, BE BOLD with PUNCH and CRAP. Is there a way to make your introduction and design bolder?


The Body
We looked at The Body portion of our speeches. Next lesson you will give The Introduction and The Body sections of your final speech. Consider how you will use transitions.

Next Lesson (6/28)
You will give your The Introduction and The Body parts of your final speech next week. 

Continue building your Final Speech. 

• Prepare slides for your main points.
• You will have at least three main points.
• Each main point should have evidence. Use both numbers and examples.
• Each main point should have a transition to the next point. Use both past and future and statement and rhetorical question patterns.
• Use previous skills (posture, eye contact, voice inflection, CRAP, IEE, etc…). You should plan AND practice these.
• Practice the introduction and body of your speech several times to be smooth.
