Presentation structure (how?)• A rule of thumb is...

... tell your audience what you are going to say,

say it, then tell the audience what you have said.

Structure• Introduction

– welcome your audience– introduce your subject– outline your structure– give instructions about questions

• Body– the “real” presentation

• (structure, signalling, summarising)• Conclusion

– recap, conclude, end, handle questionsRB, p 82Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxeppcxE2v8
