Envision This (pgs. 254-269;271-276)


This reading section was over delivering presentations. I was happy to see they used Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech as an example. I feel this is a great way to get there idea across. Before this section, I had to idea what understanding the branches of oratory meant. Now, it is divided into three "branches." These are based on time, purpose, and content. Organization is key when it comes to your presentation. The hardest part is the translation step. This is the final step! This is where you take your text you want read, and make it into something you want heard. Finally, you have your delivery. This includes gesture, posture, voice, pacing, visuals, and style. These "tips" were fundamental for our project!
