Week 3 - Presentation Stradegies

Lecture

This week's lecture discussed presentations, specifically oral presentations. It basically was to help us to create a presentation that was well constructed, prepared, included strategies for audience involvement and to use audio and visual aids such as MS PowerPoint to enhance the the presentation.

The lecture discussed in depth how the presentation should be structured. From what should be included in the introduction, body and conclusion to the appearance, using aids to for a better presentation.


Workshop

We were asked to choose something of our choice and create a biographical presentation.
We had to include one graphic and use images.This was to simply excercise what we knew about power point presentations.

I chose to do one of my favourite music artists Kanye West.
The graphic is on the slide titled Background.
