PERSUASIVE PRESENTATIONS

GOOD MORNING!
Today we're going to finish our presentations. A few things:
Conclusion slide:
  • Re-state your thesis - this will be the entire thesis statement as a complete sentence
  • 3 bullet points - one for each of your supporting concepts in 2-3 word short clips
  • Respond to your attention-getter - If you used a definition, how did it fit? If you used a rhetorical question, 'answer it', etc. This is a big part of bringing your conclusion to a nice finish.
THE SLIDES
If you finish early, add some pictures/videos/articles to your slides. Something to make your presentation "pop" a little bit and not simply be a collection of words.

NOTES
Please make sure you have your speaker notes updated and ready to go. You will be penalized if you are reading to us off the screen. Be prepared to deliver a SPEECH to the class - make eye contact, be enthusiastic, be well-rehearsed.

I'll be monitoring progress throughout the class, so feel free to ask any questions you may have.

WE PRESENT TOMORROW!
