Presentation Guidelines:

Introduction: Begin with a captivating introduction that grabs the audience's attention
and clearly states the purpose of your talk show.

Roles and Responsibilities: Each member should fulfill their designated role
effectively. The host should lead the discussion, and other roles (experts, guests,
audience members) should actively participate.

Engagement: Engage the audience by asking questions, inviting their opinions, or

conducting polls related to the topic.

Clear Communication: Speak clearly and at an appropriate pace. Ensure that

everyone in the group has an opportunity to speak and contribute.

Visual Aids (encouraged): If necessary, use visual aids such as slides or props to
enhance your presentation. Make sure they are relevant and not distracting.

Assessment Rubrics: Refer to Attachment

Conclusion: Wrap up the talk show with a concise summary of key points and a
memorable closing statement.

Q&A: Open the floor for questions from the audience, and be prepared to respond
confidently and knowledgeably.

Remember, the goal is not only to showcase your knowledge and speaking
abilities but also to work effectively as a team to deliver an engaging and
informative talk show. Good luck!
