Effective Format of
Presentation |
-
Motivational
opening. You must make a powerful first impression,
inspire
and arouse curiosity. Promise to tell the audience how they can get
something they want. Lift your visor.
Grab attention with an interesting
fact, a provocative question,
a joke,
a short anecdote, or an
inspiring quotation.

Introduction.
You must manage expectations. Before you begin your presentation, be

Plan Your
Format and
Delivery
How you give your talk can be
more important than
what you say. Whenever possible speak from an outline. If you
have a formal written speech to deliver, use a marking system in the text to
guide your delivery.

Do More than Lecture
Short lectures or verbal presentations of
information need to be enhanced and supported with
visuals and activities
directly related to the information being presented. In the classroom, the
teacher can complement his information by assigning extra study or
independent practice. In a workshop, activities are more immediate
– small
groups, games, buzz sessions, guided practice, role play,
brainstorming.
The idea is to engage the learners and stimulate them to participate in
their own learning.
Provide for every type of learner –
visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Provide
for everyone with things to see, hear and do. You'll stimulate your
learners, whether in the classroom or meeting room. They'll enjoy it more,
learn more and retain it longer.1
