COMM12033: SPEECH AND SCRIPT

Week 8:

1. Oral Presentation: Consider your final assignment. For this activity, you are to develop a presentation and associated script for your speech or release/story. This will help you map out one of your final assessment pieces, a bit like writing the structure of an essay before you write the essay. For example, you could envisage presenting your speech and use the slides to help organize the structure. Alternatively, you could map out your media release or news story scripts (which is a good idea because it will help you work out what vision you might use for each bit of narration). On your slides, you may have a visual, or a description of what you might use to support your script.

 

2. We suggest you use PowerPoint (you could even try one of the styles we covered in the Study Guide lesson), but you may also use word/PDF or any other type of presentation software with which you are familiar. You should pay some attention to presentation of your slides (eg. type format and layout).

 
3. You will submit the file (including script) on your blog, or if PowerPoint, you can upload it to Slideshare (slideshare.com) and include the link with your blog.

 
4. Reflect on this activity. Was it useful to your learning this week? If so, how? Record your responses in writing on your blog.

Task four –

In all honesty, I found this task tedious, almost like a show and tell for the final assessment item without learning any content. Attempting to be optimistic, I did however learn a new slide sharing website that I was previously unfamiliar with. In using Slideshare I can now display a lot of information in a small refined package, which I have no doubt I will use in future projects.
