Spring 20 Time: Final Presentations

There are two options for your final presentation.

Ignite Presentation 20 Time Fair

How will I be Graded?

The Presentation Rubric is posted on Website & in Canvas! Your final presentation will be graded in the following rubric areas:

Option 1: a TED-style Ignite Presentation

An Ignite presentation is promoted under the slogan, “Enlighten us, but make it quick.” Ignite is a presentation where a presenter speaks while slides advance automatically to support him/her. An Ignite presentation is exactly 5 minutes, and contains 20 slides that automatically advance after each slide is displayed for 15 seconds. Want to see an example? https://youtu.be/8CtC_qbQ51U Remember, you may include up to 1 minute of video in 15 second

• increments. Each 15 seconds of video=1 less slide. So, if you have 1 minute of

video, you will have only 16 slides (your video must be imbedded into your presentation).

Option 1: a TED-style Ignite Presentation

Remember, you are speaking your content and the presentation is adding to what you are saying! Your slides should be pictures, not words! Make sure your presentation is engaging! Make sure all of the items on the rubric with an asterisk (*) get at least 1 slide (if not more).

Option 2: 20 Time Fair

Your 20 Time Fair presentation will include a tri-fold poster with the required information from the rubric and any additional information you want to include. You may also have a video on your iPad. Be prepared to explain your project to 20 Time Fair attendees and answer any questions they may have. Each attendee will be filling

• ut a questionnaire while they are listening to you present.

NOTE: You will ALL attend one of the three days – yes…for points!

Option 2: 20 Time Fair

Remember, you not only need to be prepared to talk about your topic, but also ready to answer questions. Make sure your presentation is engaging! Make sure all of the items on the rubric with an asterisk (*) are on the outside panels of your tri-fold poster. The center is up to you. Check out the next slide for an example.

Tips to make your presentation great whether you are doing the Ignite presentation or the 20 Time Fair 

TIP #1:

TELL YOUR STORY IN 3 ACTS.

The world’s most captivating communicators typically rely on a three-act structure. By structuring your presentation with a clear and compelling beginning, middle, and end, you’ll take your audience on an exciting journey … the kind that inspires action, sells products, and funds businesses. This is true if you are doing the Ignite Presentation or the 20 Time Fair!

TIP #2:

A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS.

Humans more easily learn and recall information that is presented as pictures than when the same information is presented in words. Images are powerful. Use them liberally.

TIP #3:

EMOTIONS GET OUR ATTENTION.

Make sure your presentation content goes beyond pure “facts.” Triggering audience emotion is a guaranteed way to increase retention and impact of your core message.

TIP #4:

USE PLAIN ENGLISH.

If you want to improve your ability to persuade an audience, use simple language, free of jargon. Make sure your key messages are concrete and

• consistent. And don’t forget to

use vivid metaphors or analogies to provide context and clarity around big numbers and complex ideas.
