Today we moved away, for a short while, from you folks doing presentations to looking at analysing presentations. This is what you need to do for Outcome One of this unit.
We looked at the following terms and discussed their meanings:
Structure
Expressing ideas in a logical sequence
Vocabulary
Words and phrases used
Register
Choice of language as appropriate to audience – formal / informal, jargon etc
Style
General manner of presentation including:
Formal / informal /relaxed /serious /humorous
Pace
Speed of presentation – may be varied for emphasis or to be clearer for the audience
Modulation
Ability to vary tone of voice for emphasis, humour - not monotone
Articulation
Choosing the most appropriate way of speaking to express points clearly
Voice Projection
Voice can be heard at a distance without shouting
Signposting
Using linkage to move from one idea to the next
“First… And now I will move on to… Last…”
Non-verbal communication
Body language, gestures, facial expression, gestures, mannerisms, eye contact, dress, arm movements… everything but words
We applied some of these terms and their concepts by looking at Jamie Oliver's presentation (see useful links).
I asked folk to have a go at the analysis questions as practice for next week.
