The oral presentation

You are now probably making necessary preparations for your oral presentation due in Week 6. As explained in class, you have to choose between these two options:

OPTION 1 - The Legend Speech

You are to choose either a famous person, group, movement, event etc. that relates to any field (business, politics, culture, music, performing arts, engineering, science, technology etc.) who has made an impact on his/ her/ their/ its respective field or even beyond that, and above all, who has influenced you, the speaker/ presenter.

The goal of this oral presentation, which you need to mention in your INTRODUCTION, is NOT so much to outline the life of this person, or the development of this group, movement or event, BUT rather to inform your audience how/ why this person, group, movement or event has influenced you.

In the BODY or CONTENT of your presentation, you then elaborate the key points or main ideas: THREE of the most significant contributions or changes that this person, group, movement or event has made.

Ultimately, in your CLOSING or CONCLUSION, you should end your 3-minute oral presentation by summarizing the key points or main ideas you have made earlier, perhaps by pointing out the importance of these significant contributions that this person, group, movement or event has made to his/ her/ their/ its respective field.

So now, as you search for some materials for your oral presentation, choose one that you think is the best material. Copy and paste the material in your blog. Be sure to cite the source properly. If the material is too long, you may create a hyperlink of the material.

Now, in your blog, based on what you have read about this famous person, group, movement or event, write your comments about how he/ she/ they/ it has influenced you. As agreed, your comments should be one or two paragraphs, min 100 words, max 250 words. (Due: Week 6)


OPTION 2 - Speech of introduction: Introducing YOURSELF

You are to introduce yourself to the rest of the class. Your goal is to inform your audience about yourself, focusing on what makes you, YOU. Thus, in your INTRODUCTION you need to make a stand, a personal statement about yourself, that defines YOU.

You then elaborate further on your personal stand statement by focusing on THREE most important aspects or parts of that personal stand statement of yours as your key points or main ideas in the BODY or CONTENT of your presentation.

Finally, in the CLOSING or CONCLUSION, end your 3-minute presentation by summarizing the THREE key points or main ideas you have just elaborated.

Now, in your blog, based on the personal stand statement you have chosen for your oral presentation, write your comments on why you have chosen it as your personal stand statement. Your comments should be one or two paragraphs, min 100 words, max 250 words. (Due: Week 6)

Good luck! Remember to prepare good, effective visuals and don't forget to think of an appropriate attention-getter. Make full use of appropriate non-verbal communication. Last but not least, practise and time your presentation - as the saying goes, Practice makes perfect.
