Grading
You will be graded on:
Content
Make sure your speech is
according to topic, do not change topics.
Your speech needs a beginning, middle, and end.
Structure your speech well so that it will be easy for your
audience to follow you and your train of thought.
Eye
contact
Make sure to make eye contact with your audience.
This shows confidence and makes the audience feel that you are
actually talking to them and they will want to listen to you.
DO NOT read your
notes.
If you forget something you
can quickly look down at your notes and then look back up at
your audience and continue your presentation.
DO NOT look down at
your notes too often, looking down for every sentence or
every 2nd sentence is considered reading!
Remember
your presentation
You need to practice!
Practice your speech out loud at home. This helps you to
remember the content of your speech and helps with confidence.
Time
Make sure to time yourself
at home to make sure that you are within the time limit. Too
short is not good, too long is also not good.
Voice
Speak in a loud and clear
voice.
Do not speak too soft, your
audience needs to hear what you are saying.
Other
Practice pausing before and after important points.
Don’t just stand/sit behind the table: use gestures and
be animated.
Smile, be enthusiastic, and have fun.
