Structure
From Compsci1
Contents |
The main structure is:
Introduction
In the introduction introduce yourself briefly. In general people like to know who is this person I am sitting listening to.
Introduce your topic, tell us what you are going to talk about. Tell us why you chose this topic, why it is of interest to you. Outline the main points, the sub headings of your talk. What are the main points you want to make, keep in mind what do you think we want to hear
Body of presentation
In the body of the presentation you make your main points. This should be broken into logical points and paragraphs. Choose a few main points to explain to us rather than give us too much information to take in. Keep sentences short. If sentences are too long and convoluted we will not be able to follow. Pick a point and tell us about it, then move to the next point and tell us about it. This is all done at your preparation stage. If you are giving a history of a topic normally this is done chronologically. If you are listing pros and cons list them separately, don’t mix them up, be logical. Mark where you want to use slides, audio/visual sources
Summary
In the summary briefly tell us the main points you wanted to get across. What were the main points on which you wanted us to focus. Be brief
Conclusion
In your conclusion briefly tell us about future developments, actions, recommendations, conclusions you have drawn from your research. Thank the audience for listening.
