Presentation Delivery
For presentations in front of large groups, it is
best for the presenter to stay in control. That
means that the presenter makes the presentation
move from one slide to another.
29
Presentation Delivery
Before delivering your presentation, make sure
that it is technically functioning. That means
that all your graphics show up, your sounds play,
and your buttons do what you want them to do.

Presentation Limitations
Develop a lecture based on your lesson plan and
concept map. Use PowerPoint to create outline and
support slides as discussed in this presentation.
You will have five minutes to present your
three points. You should be prepared to present
on the day you are scheduled. You will not be
allowed to present on another day if you are not
ready.
39
Presentation Limitations
Your presentation should include at least three
main points within the context of a five minute
lecture. For instance, your presentation could
summarize the unit, discuss the objectives of the
unit, and preview the major assignments within
the unit.
40
Presentation Limitations
Your presentation should include the use of
outline visuals including a preview slide at the
beginning of the presentation, slides
highlighting each main point, and a review slide
at the end of the presentation.
41
Presentation Limitations
In addition to the outline slides, your
presentation must also include at least one
supporting visual for each main point. A three
point speech should therefore have at least eight
slides.
