ASSIGNMENT: Oral Presentation Outline Letter NOTE: Complete this week's readings (the Module and the text chapter) before completing and submitting this outline, as your outline (and your presentation) must follow the guidelines given in the text and modules, and will be evaluated on this basis. Write me a letter (not an email) asking for permission to present on your chosen presentation topic. In this letter, make sure to apply all we have learned so far in this course about format, tone, conventions, and organization. My information is: Holly Munn, COMM 1106 Communication Instructor, BCIT, 1234 Hard Work Rd., Burnaby, BC, T1A 2B3. You can make up your address, too. Review textbook Chapter 7's pages 166-179, and Module 5, how to present information, and look at the sample letters in Appendix A: Format and Layout of Business Documents to guide your efforts. A sample presentation outline can be found on page 331-322. Your letter must contain the following information outlining your presentation, and be one to two pages long. Submit the letter to the dropbox for Oral Presentation Outline Letter Assignment when complete: Presentation Topic/Title: Think of your presentation topic/title like a subject line -- keep it informative and specific -- but also try to make it interesting and intriguing for the audience. Presentation's Intended Audience: Who is your specific audience? You can choose any Presentation Purpose: See the textbook page referenced in Module 9 for how to construct a one to two sentence purpose statement that includes your audience, the intended action or reaction, and your topic. This purpose will help shape your whole presentation. Presentation Length: The presentation should be planned to be not less than 4 minutes long, and not more than 7 minutes long. Aim for 5 minutes. Presentation's 3 Main Points: Remember, the main topics should be previewed in the introduction, and the main messages summarized in the conclusion. The difference is important -- if you aren't clear after reading the module and the chapter, let me know. Planned Presentation Visuals and Medium(s): What visual type(s) (illustrations, etc.) and medium(s) (flipchart, whiteboard, etc.) are you thinking of using? (e.g. PowerPoint slides including an agenda, bar graph, pictures, etc.). Remember: Visuals must follow the guidelines for presentation visuals in the text and module, and you must write all visual text yourself. If you use video in your presentation, please make sure it is not longer than 15 seconds. I need to see both your face and your slides. Don't just read off your screen -- make sure you know your presentation! Presentation Information Sources for you to Consult: List names of websites, people, books, workplace documents, reports, etc. you will consult to gather information. Keep track of your research sources, and include at least the name of the report, website, or person sources in your presentation (either spoken or written down). Please go beyond Wikipedia, and include information from more than one source. *** If you need to change any details (topic scope, visuals choices, sources, etc.) as you do research or further prepare your presentation, that's fine. This outline is a working document, a plan for next steps. However, if you want to change your presentation topic after submitting your outline, you should send me an email. *** Start Date May 19, 2021 12:00 AM Due Date Jun 5, 2021 9:00 AM Hide Rubrics Rubric Name: Oral Presentation Letter Print Rubric Criteria Excellent 4 points Good 3 points Needs work 2 points Did not complete 1 point Criterion Score Topic/Title -- informative and specific yet interesting and intriguing for /4 Criteria Excellent 4 points Good 3 points Needs work 2 points complete 1 point Criterion Score Topic/Title -- informative and specific yet interesting and intriguing for audience Intended audience -- be specific with enough details to provide a picture of who audience is 4 14 Purpose statement -- one to two sentences long including audience, intended action or reaction, your topic Planned length outlined -- not more than 9 minutes /4 Three main points of presentation outlined and summarized Planned presentation visuals and medium 4 Outline sources you will consult -- more than one /4 Proper letter format /4 Professional snelline and grammar
