PRESENTATION
Oral Report on a

meaningful and relevant
information/ideas

As you develop the slide decks:
1. Don’t make too wordy slide presentations,
instead use graphs, tables, figures,
illustrations etc.;
2. Limit the text of the presentation up to five
(5) – seven (7) lines only;
3. Don’t use distracting animations, transitions,
and designs;
4. Use a balanced color combination that will
make the presentation visible and pleasing to
the eyes.

Here are some things to consider before
and during the presentation:
 Do not go over the time limit. (10
minutes per group)
 Speak clearly and concisely. Be
coherent. (organized discussion)
 Make eye contact.
 Presentation

cluttered with too many points and
ideas. Graphs, tables, and charts
should be clearly labeled and easy to
interpret.
 Practice your talk, but do not
memorize a script.
 Be visually and orally interesting.
 Presentation
 Keep an outline with you during the
presentation; it will help you stay on track.
 Give a presentation that is focused with one
underlying message
 Be polite and graceful.
 Answer questions in a calm, non-
condescending manner; do not argue with or
interrupt the questioner.
 Provide appropriate acknowledgment.

Guidelines
 WHAT IS THE SPEECH ALL ABOUT?
 WHAT CAUSES INCIVILITY?
 WHAT DIFFERENT BEHAVIORS AR
INCLUDED IN INCIVILITY?
 WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF INCIVILITY
TO PEOPLE?
1. Be Yourself
Everybody is different. That means that
there are no hard and fast rules for what
makes an effective public speaker. Part of
being an authentic public speaker is
knowing how to be yourself when in the
spotlight. Acting like yourself rather than
trying to imitate someone else allows you
to behave more organically, which is a
boon when attempting to connect with an
audience
2. Understand Your Topic
Regardless of the circumstances, if you
are going to speak in an attempt to
persuade or inform your colleagues or
peers, it is always wise to first possess at
least a rudimentary understanding of the
topic you intend to discuss. This will
allow you to focus less on thinking about
how to most effectively communicate
the information and more on how to
sincerely engage with your audience.
3. Play to Your Strengths
There are no right or wrong ways to give a
great presentation; the best speakers are able
to effectively identify their strengths and use
those strengths as tools to create a presence
that is authentic and relatable. When
preparing a presentation, endeavor to
determine ways in which you can use your
talents and personality as the means to
connect with your audience. By ensuring that
you are in your element while in the spotlight,
you take leaps and bounds toward presenting
your listeners with an authentic speaker.
4. Do Not be Afraid to Improvise
It is axiomatic that not everything will go exactly
as we planned in any given situation. As such, a
public speaker must know how to improvise when
something inevitably goes in an unexpected
direction. When something went wrong, keep a
cool head and adapt. Developing the ability to
maintain composure and be flexible when plans go
awry will translate directly into a comfortability
when behind the mic.
5. Find Interest in Everything
Even the most dry and clinical
information contains its nuances;
grab hold of whatever small
things catch your attention about
your topic and run with them.
