knowledge of the topic as well as the parts of the presentation. Clearly practiced.

ethos.

times. You use purposeful gestures and controlled body language. You speak in a loud
clear voice. You dont cover your face or distract with over movement. You practice
words that you know might trip you up.

presentation. You build suspense. Have some point where your audience wants to know
what you will say/show next. You ask a relevant question. Have your audience consider
something. Keep the audiences interest through a handout, PowerPoint, etc., without
being cheesy and distracting.

attention if they become lost.
c. Persuasion: You persuade your audience that the choices you are suggesting/have
made are the right ones for their company.
i. Accessibility (Not Required, but recommended for all presentations):
You have a Handout (with your names, emails, and key points on it) and bring at least
2 copies of some kind of speech outline so that audience members with hearing/seeing
impairments can still get the information from your presentation. Your slides should
be big enough to view and in nicely visible colors.
5.

[Technology Use]:
a. Style: slides are uniform, scannable, and beautiful. Slides balance images and text well.
b. Content: slides help the reader understand the presentation. Content is not random, too
much, or too little. Content should be somewhat understandable even without the
speech incase the listener loses focus and wants to come back to the presentation.
c. Sections: Slides should all be clearly labeled with a section titlesignposts to tell the
listener what part of the speech they are in.
d. Rehearsed: Slides clearly has been rehearsed. There are neither flow issues nor
technology hiccups.
