10. Transitions

11. Find a “Hook” for your next presentation
How do you distinguish yourself from other speakers so audience members will not forget you?
You don’t want to blend in with other speakers so that neither your message nor you are remembered.
Don’t let the audience forget you!

12. Example Presentation: “How to care for a baby” [NOTE: We have used an imaginary topic with very simple vocabulary so we can focus on the arrangement of the content, not the meaning]
1) Select the topic of your presentation.
2) Choose the central idea, or thesis, of your presentation. For example: “Babies need to be fed, held, and loved.” Add a hook - “I remember when I my brother was born...

13. 3) Outline your presentation to include the introduction, body with main point, and conclusion.
a) Optionally/depending on the circumstances: Begin the presentation by telling who you are, introduce yourself.
b) The introduction often continues with an interesting example, illustration, or question. This is your hook. For example: “Most of you will become parents someday. But do you know how to take care of a baby?”
c) After this introduction, add your thesis statement. You may some more brief information about the order of what is to follow

14. You will then have 2-3 sections, where you will elaborate on each of the 2-4 points previously presented. This is the Main Body
a) First of all, babies need to be fed…[additional info on this topic]
b) Secondly, babies need to be held. I will give you some tips on how to do this and keep baby happy…[additional info on this topic]
c) Finally babies to need to be loved. Research has shown that babies may “fail to thrive”, that is, not grow properly, or even die, if they are not given affection and attention… . [additional info on this topic

15. 5) The conclusion briefly restates your main points.
a) Begin the conclusion by quickly restating(or summarazing) the principal ideas of your presentation.
“Today I have showed you how to care for a baby . A baby will need to be fed, held, and loved, and I have given you tips and advice on doing all those things.”
b) Your final statement can be a future prediction based on what you have shown in the presentation. For example: “When and if you become parents, you’ll need to perfect these skills in order for your baby to thrive.”
c) End with a salutation. “Thank you for listening to my presentation…”
