Step 2: Choosing the format1. How you make the presentation is

affected by what the speaker expects the audience to learn and by the attitude of the audience;

2. A structure is required to provide a smooth, orderly, and complete guide for preparation and presentation;

3. The seminar must have a beginning and an end;

Step 3: Show, don’t tell1. "Visuals represent the credibility of your presentation,

reinforcing your spoken words“;2. Visuals double as note cards;3. Types of visuals:

Use verbal visuals (i.e., word slides) when:– Presenting ideas that cannot be visualized– Emphasizing ideas or concepts to be remembered– The message involves a few major pointsUse the real thing when:– It is available– It is unusual or interesting enough to attract or maintain

attention

Use graphs, maps, or flow charts to:– Show organization, flow, percentages, changes over time,

trends, or projections– Facilitate the explanation of a procedure

Use drawings when:– A diagram facilitates an explanation– Leaving out detail emphasizes that which is shown– Photos or the real item are not available– Inside or cross-section views are needed

Use photographs when:– A photo is more descriptive than words– Showing clarity of detail– Showing a step-by-step process– Comparing past and present, good and bad, or conditions

someplace else

4. Where to get visuals:– From an expert on campus – From someone elsewhere in the country – From books and journals – From Photograph objects (roads, trees,

foods, people, equipment, plants, etc.) yourself

– From drawings, maps, and pictures available on CD-ROM or the World Wide Web

– By making your own drawings using a drawing program
