(Answer) SPCH277 – Week 7 Assignment: PowerPoint Presentation

Instructions
The following are the best practices for creating your speech presentation:

• Title Slide: Include the title, audience (who you prepared the presentation for: school or institution), the presenter who prepared and narrated, and the date.
• Attention-Getter: Give the audience a reason to pay attention. Make them want to listen to your speech.
• Thesis: Clearly state the purpose of your presentation
  • (On this slide, establish the tone of the presentation and include any questions you think your audience might have about your topic – questions you will answer during your presentation).
• Body of the Presentation (multiple slides): Include the information you found during your research and organize it in a visually pleasing manner.
  • Use some type of division like levels of headers or titles.
  • Use words and phrases to clarify key points.
  • Provide researched evidence for each point.
  • Cite your evidence, quotes, and statistics within your presentation using
  • in-text citations ( ) on the slides as well as full reference citations on the
  • last slide.
  • Include images to add visual appeal to the slides.
• Summary and Conclusion: Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your outline or presentation. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the thesis statement of the outline and main objective of the presentation. End with a final strong statement regarding the intent of the presentation.
• References: Use the APA citation format.
