Slide 20 - Tekstslide

Stating your purpose
When you have your audience's attention, you may  state the purpose of your talk. 
The manner of doing so depends on the formality of the speech. 

Slide 21 - Tekstslide

Formal
  • Perhaps we should begin
  • Good morning, ladies and gentlemen
  • I'm responsible for..
  • This morning I'd like to
  • discuss..
  • report on..
  • present..
  • If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them
  • Perhaps we can leave questions until the end of the presentation
Informal
  • Let's get started
  • Mornign, everyone
  • I'm in change  of..
  • What I want to do this morning..
  • talk to you about..
  • tell you about ..
  • show you..
  • Feel free to ask any questions you like as we go along
  • Don't worry, there'll be plenty of time left over for questions at the end. 

Slide 22 - Tekstslide

Stating your purpose
"... talk to you about..'." is quite vague, and there is probably a better verb to describe your intention:
reporting on / taking a look at / giving an overview of. 
filling you in on.. / making observations..  / highlight
putting into perspective / discuss in depth / bringing you up to date 

Keep in mind that your purpose may be multi-layered!

Slide 26 - Open vraag

Presentation
  • Introduction 
  • Stating your purpose 
  • Reason why it attracts you
  • Main part: arguments, main idea-make a point
  • Conclusion 

Slide 27 - Tekstslide

An effective conclusion 
Strategies for an effective conclusion:
  • Play the “So What” Game.
When you read a statement from the conclusion, ask yourself, “So what?” or “Why should anybody care?”
Ponder that question and answer it
Basically, I’m just saying that education was important to Douglass
  • So what?
Well, it was important because it was a key to him feeling like a free and equal citizen
Why should anybody care?
That’s important because plantation owners tried to keep slaves from being educated so that they could maintain control. When Douglass obtained an education, he undermined that control personally.

Slide 28 - Tekstslide

Ineffective conclusion 
“That’s My Story"
"That was my presentation".

Slide 29 - Tekstslide

What to do?
Include a provocative insight or quotation from the "body" 
Propose a course of action, a solution to an issue, or questions for further study
