Appendix F
Oral Presentation
Create a PowerPoint presentation of 6 to 8 slides on oral presentations using the following
scenario. Review Ch. 17 of Business and Administrative Communication for information. Follow
the guidelines for formatting PowerPoint slides.
You have been asked to give a ten-minute speech on the basics of oral presentations. You may
include information outside of what is provided in-text; however, the presentation must include
basic information that people who are not practiced public presenters need to know.
1. First slide: Title slide; includes speechs title, students name, universitys name
2. Second slide: Introduction
3. Next 3-5 slides: Body of presentation; ensure that the body includes information on the
following:

Strong openings
Choosing information to include
Organizing information
Strong closings
How to handle audience questions

4. Final slide: Conclusion

Because you will not be able to present this, ensure that each of the slides contains thorough
speakers notes you might use if you were presenting. Use the speakers notes to explain each of
the items on the slide in detail, so your instructor understands your thought process behind each
included item.
The oral presentation is due in Week Seven.
