PRE-ANCHOR PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

NKHS Technology Readiness Anchor Presentations

Look at the rubric often! 
 Match your presentation to its guidelines!

 INTERESTING INFORMATION only, please!
in over  3 - but less than  6 - minutes.

A      It’s important that you have a visual presentation to accompany 
        your well-selected and well-prepared text, 
        and that there be no full sentences on any slides.  

B.    Your oral work should include several zingers, 
        which will be phrases you wish your audience to remember.  
        Let your audience know when your zingers are coming, but setting them up properly.  

         Zinger by JFK (1st -- and only --  inaugural address):

         Ask not what your country can do for you.              

         Ask what you can do for your country.                                 

                     Set up:     And so my fellow Americans..

                    That line prepared us to tune in.  Then it rewarded those who did.

OTHER  Potential set-ups for your “zingers” …. Which can you add? 
   
      --   Believe me when I say that…    
      --   I don’t know about you, but I ….
      --  You can imagine that...            
      --   And here's the surprising part: 

C.     Your OUTLINE  (structure)  is critical.  

         Not even the best presenter can rescue something that is carelessly prepared.

         (Watch videos:  Michael Bay and Steven Jobs  --   http://blog.prezi.com/latest/2014/1/8/how-prezi-might-just-save-you-from-an-on-stage-meltdown-and.html/?utm_source=em0bday&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=gro&utm_term=a3701839721)

•         Edit and streamline your text until you can fill the time
•         with accurate, solid information 
•         told in an interesting way, 
•         before you begin illustrating your words.  
•         Work hard as you design your slides -- to commit this text to memory.  
•         Aim not to look at the screen during your presentation!

D.       Over-animating keeps your audience waiting.   
           Only animate images for those topics you are discussing at that moment.  

E.        Practice!  
           You'll need time outside of class.  
           Use the TIMER:  Keep track of time.  
           Do you need additional research?  (Even additional categories?)  
           TOO MUCH DETAIL is also costly.     

F.        From the beginning, save your sources, 
           perhaps in the footer; perhaps on the last slide.

G.        Pre-Anchor
            Present a career to your classmates.   

            Both the Introduction and also conclusion must help summarize
                 the body of your presentation,  
                 in an interesting way. 

        
             (YES.  This basic information reaches your listeners three times!)

H.         Consider including:

• details of successful daily job performance;
• details of how you learned about this job;
• skills / tools needed for success; path/s to acquire them

including specific programs/colleges

• challenges to success (costs; location; exclusivity, etc.)
• benefits of being successful 
• other information from your table  (monthly budget; first car...)
• where you might work!  (Google it; find where you might be needed now.)
