  • Each resource is cited using APA style citations

Part II: Informative Presentation

Your presentation should be 3–5 minutes, include 5–7 slides (not including your title and references slide), and include speaker notes for each slide.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

• Organization: Organize your presentation to include an introduction, body, and conclusion alongside their key components (examples include an “attention getter,” thesis statement, sub-points, statement of closure, etc.
• Visual Aids: Use a variety of visual aids in your presentation that enhance the clarity of the content being presented and audience engagement, and are appropriate for social, cultural, and ethical considerations. Examples include charts, graphs, illustrations, photographs, and others as appropriate.
• Language Use: Present information using clear, concise language; appropriate word choice for the audience, including social, cultural, and ethical considerations; and a professional tone.
• Speakers Notes: Develop thorough speaker notes for each slide using the provided Presentation Speaker Notes Template Word Document that reflect the intended speech and can be used to guide the presentation.

What to Submit

To complete this project, you must submit the following:

Bongo Screen Share

Submit a 3- to 5-minute audiovisual recording of your presentation using the Screen Share setting in Bongo. Make sure that your slides are the larger visual and your image, if shown, is smaller. Sources should be orally cited according to APA style.

Due to Bongo’s technical capabilities, downloading your presentation may result in two separate files (one for audio and one for video) as opposed to one file that includes both. If this occurs, please upload both files to Brightspace.

Speaker Notes

Submit speaker notes using the provided template. Sources should be cited according to APA style. It is suggested that you use your Informative Speech Outline from the Module Four discussion to assist you in the creation of your speaker notes.

PowerPoint Presentation

Submit a PowerPoint presentation of 5–7 slides (not including title and reference slides). Sources should be cited according to APA style.
