Top 5 things you should and should not do


 
 
 
Top 5 things you should and Should not to do
 
1) Eye Contact, Do not read off of paper or powerpoint etc..
We do not want to read off of anything because that gives the audience to think you do not know what you are discussing.
 
2) Be organized! So you have a flowing presentation. You do not want to look for something that is missing during the presentaton.
 
3) If using a power point, make it readable for the audience. For example do not use light color fonts on a light color background or dark colors on a dark background. The audience has to be able to read the presentation.
 
4) Avoid disfluencies, it makes the audience think you do not know what you are talking about.
 
5) Be loud, so the audience can here you.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Research paper preview




                       In my research paper for college composition i am discussing about single-sex schools. I am arguing if single-sex schools can improve academic success but is it the best idea to separate the students by gender. For this specific topic i believe i am dealing with a wavering audience. So i will be using the methods of Ethos and Logos. Ethos,i am working with credibility and reliability. Logos, i am working the facts, statistics, and examples to support my point of view. This topic can go either way for anybody. Some people believe that they should have single-sex schools because they benefit students academics. Others believe they may benefit the academics of students but it does not prepare them to work coed successfully. I am gathering information of how it works for the boys and girls. For example it helps boys with less distraction from the opposite sex and girls to speak out freely without any competion. I will be using this sort of information to support my thesis.
