Presentation of PSA Visual Argument Presentation (Public Service Announcement) Presentations can be seen as a form of teaching, and one way to show you truly have knowledge of a subject/topic is to be able to articulate it verbally to others. Besides the written and visual discourse communities we have learned about and created, oral communication is just as powerful and requires just as much skill to be completed effectively. Purpose: The purpose of this presentation is to present your PSA to the class. You will gain practice in giving oral presentations, and you will have another chance to revisit the work you have done. Additionally, the questions and comments from your classmates may give you further insights into your work or your chosen community issue. Audience: This presentation should be addressed to an audience of your scholarly peers who will, most likely, only have a casual familiarity with your community issue. Content/Subject: You will present your PSA to the class. You should provide a brief introduction and conclusion as well as explain your final project to the class.

Presentation of PSA General tips for giving a presentation include: Be prepared! The more you know what you want to say and how you want to say it the less awkward your presentation will be. Practice! Don‘t try to ―wing it. ‖ Much like the writing we have done in the course, presentations require some ―rough ‖ starts before you end up with a good final product. Practice beforehand.

Presentation of PSA Constraints: Your oral presentation may make use of electronic presentation software, such as PowerPoint, and should: Be 5-7 minutes long. Include an introduction—introduce yourself and your community issue. Present the PSA that you created. Ensure that the problem and its solution are clearly identified. Provide closing statements justifying the implementation of your solution.
