Presentations can be tricky. There are many problems that can occur. For example, the listeners may not understand the meaning by the end if the "so what" question is left out, or they may have trouble keeping up with your thought process if the transitions are too harsh. To fix these problems and others, in class this week we were given tips on presenting that will help with our "What is Literature" presentations next week. One of the tips that I need to work on is an aforementioned tip, to transition smoothly from topic to topic. This helps the readers follow the "story" of the presentation which, in effect, keeps them interested. If the transitions are too harsh, they may get lost in what I'm are trying to convey to them and lose interest. Another tip I found helpful was to focus on the main topic. If too many tangents cloud what I'm are trying to say, the main topic will fade into the background. This will confuse the listeners as they try to follow my words. A "so what" question will help the listeners apply the message into their lives and help them understand what they can get out of the presentation. Finally, if I pick out the points that were interesting to me as I studied my topics, they will post likely be interested as well. These tips helped me pin point what changes I want to make to my presentation and made the final goal more clear. Now that I know what makes a great presentation, I will be able to explain to my audience what I have to say in the most effective way. http://www.skillsyouneed.com/present/presentation-tips.html
