ch. 11

so in chapter 11, what i found useful was the presentation tips that it gave me. tips such as, what a visual aid should look like and what it should hold. the tips that was provided by the book, were things like the different types of visual aids, special things that it should hold and to limit yourself in the visual aid itself. the different types of visual aids i could use are slides off a projector, or even using the white board. Ive always found that slides work the best considering that you have already prepared what is going to be presented and had some time to clean it up. another good tip i found useful was limiting myself in the visual aid. when it comes to using slides off the projector, i really dont put much description on the slides because im already talking about my topic. when creating my visual aid, i like to use pictures to present my topic so that my audience can have an image in their heads of what im talking about. for example, my last speech was on fraternity and i was talking about hazing. people who dont really know what hazing is and i was just talking about it, they can look at my slides to have a picture of what hazing is. i really think that slides off a projector is the best way to present your speech.

  1. I agree on the concept of limiting myself in the visual aids. I tend not to put long descriptions in my Powerpoint slides. Slides should be designed in such a way where they are catchy and provide key phrases which will keep listeners attuned and focused on bulleted and the most important points. It makes it organized for the audience. PowerPoint provides a terrific way to make your presentation memorable if properly used as an enhancement to augment your ideas. I like adding descriptive pictures and graphical representations in the slides because it adds charm and helps personalize your presentation.
