Effective preparation focuses on understanding the audience, defining main points and narrative, conducting research, and designing slides with legible fonts and appropriate visuals. A strong presentation structure includes a clear introduction, engaging middle through storytelling and notes, and a conclusion that synthesizes key themes. Review through rehearsal ensures structure, clarity, jargon-free language, correct timing, confident delivery, and appropriate body language while meeting module guidelines.","SPLASH\nIt’s important to allow yourself enough time to plan and prepare a presentation as you would any other written assignment. Having the time to practice a presentation will help with developing your public speaking skills and ensure the content engages your audience.\nPresentation Planning\nWhen planning a presentation think about:\nAudience - who will you be presenting to? If it is for your lecturers as an assignment make sure you have met all the assessment criteria\nContent - What are the main points of your presentation? What is the story you are trying to tell?\nResearch - Where you will look for the information?\nDesign - How will your presentation look? Will you include images?\nDelivery - How will you deliver your presentation? What software will you use? If it is a group presentation, decide on how each member of  the team will contribute. Check your module guidelines for the presentation of written work. This includes line spacing, font size, page numbering, margins and style of referencing.\nCreating a presentation\nBe clear on your topic, the timing and any criteria you are required to meet.\nResearch your topic to establish some key points for your audience to take away. Anticipate any questions your audiences may ask and use the research to prepare answers.\nConsider the layout and design of your presentation:\nClear legible fonts can help to keep your audience engaged\nVisual images can help to reinforce your points– copyright cleared images can be found on the web such as creative commons\nConsider simplifying statistics or tables into an info-graphic to keep your audience engaged\nDecide on which order you will present your key points\nPresentation structure\nThe presentation should have a beginning, middle, and end:\nIntroduction:\nBegin by introducing yourself and/or group to the audience and outline the aim of the presentation and key points\nFor the middle part of your presentation:\nStorytelling techniques can help engage your audience instead of just relaying key messages\nDon’t read from the slides as these should reinforce your message rather than appear as a transcript for you to read from\nCreate notes to help you remember what you are going to say\nConclusion:\nEnd by drawing together the main points of your presentation to remind your audience what has been covered\n“Sounds familiar? Preparing a presentation is similar to any other written assignments.”\nPractice and Review\nBuild in time to read through your slides and practice your presentation.\nPracticing your presentation see if:\nYour points are well structured and can be clearly followed by your audience\nYour conclusion brings all the main themes together\nYour message is clear\nTimings are correct\nYour pace of delivery is clear and concise\nLanguage used is jargon free\nYou present to the audience rather than the slides\nYou have met the criteria for your assignment – check module guide- lines\nYour body language is appropriate i.e. maintaining eye contact with your audience; looking around the room; smile\nFurther advice and larger text guides can be found online: \u0013 HYPERLINK
