THIS WEEK : Using the presentation example that you chose to write about in DB #4 — and using the organization strategies in the link above — answer the following prompts to get a better sense of the techniques used to put the presentation together. Use bullet points and headers for better organization:
· Presentation Info : Give the title of the presentation, name the author, give the date and the location of the presentation, if offered.
· Presentation Production Choices : Here, answer the following:
· Purpose: What is the author’s goal with this presentation? What are they trying to accomplish? (Review this from last week.)
· Content: How well does the verbal narration and any presentation aids help the author achieve their purpose?
· Tone: What is the mood of the piece and how is it achieved (e.g., language choices, delivery, other sensory choices)?
· Structure: How would you describe the organization and order of the presentation (chronological, topical, spatial, causal)?
