4.1.2.Planning

What is the purpose of your presentation?

  • Why are you giving a presentation? To explain, to convince, to entertain, to justify? The purpose of your presentation will determine how you structure it, what information you will include, what format you will adopt, the type and form of your visual aids, etc.

Who is your audience?
Your audience will most likely include fellow classmates and your tutors or lecturers.

  • What will they know of your subject?
  • What background information do you need to provide?
  • What technical terms or complex matters will you need to explain and what can you assume they already know?
  • How can you keep them interested?
  • What questions might they ask?
  • Will your presentation be marked? If so, what are the marking criteria?
