Class 7 – Chapter 13 (Oral Communication)Oral Presentations
Simple structure
Specific purpose
Clear main idea
What are the three common types of structures for oral presentations?
Logical, narrative, and formal
How can you introduce your topic in a presentation?
With an unexpected statistic or fact; by asking a question that raises an issue you will
address; by displaying a key visual or performing a demonstration; citing a quotation; or by
telling a joke that is fresh, appropriate, and relevant.
*** A method of delivery for presentations where the speaker relies on notes rather than word
for word reading is: extemporaneous. It is a method of delivery for presentations where the
speaker relies on notes rather than script memorization. This form of delivery sounds fresh and
comfortable yet maintains a sense of order from planning. Presentations usually benefit from a
combination of preparation and a spontaneous, natural delivery style that engages the
audience and holds interest.
*** Three common types of structure for a presentation are logical (uses transitions to guide
listeners), narrative (uses a credible and compelling story), and formal (includes and
introduction, main sections, and a conclusion)
