What is Presentation?

The practice of showing and explaining the content of a topic to an audience or learner

Elements of Presentation: Information Education Entertainment

Structure of Presentation

The Rule of ‘Tell them’Tell them what you are going to tell them, Tell it to them, and then tell them what you told them

Outline (Overview) – Material – Conclusion

First is ‘Biting’

Need to develop a curiosity of the audience related to the material and show them that it is significant

Basic Rules of Good Presentation

1. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

2. Preparing and Rehearsing the presentation

3. Don't go too fast or too slow

4. You cannot please everyone

Making Power Point Slides

Good Slide Structure and Font

Write in point, not in complete sentence Include 4-5 points per slide Use at least an 18 size font and standard font

such as Times New Roman or Arial Use different size font for main points and

secondary points– This font is 24 size, the main point font is 28 size,

and the title font is 36 size

Bad Slide Structure

This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

Bad Slide Font

If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written

CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ

Don’t use a complicated font

Good Slide Colour

Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with the background– Ex: blue font on white background

Use a colour to reinforce the logic of your structure– Ex: light blue title and dark blue text

Use colour to emphasize a point– But only use this occasionally

Bad Slide Colour

Using a font colour that does not contrast with the background colour is hard to read

Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying.

Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary– Using a different colour for secondary points is also

unnecessary Trying to be creative can also be bad

Analyzing Good and Bad Slides

On the Stage …

1. Relax and Reduce your fear

2. Focus on eye contact with your audience

3. Vary your voice tonality and speed during your presentation

4. Slow down, smile, and breathe

5. Be Interactive
