consider when planning the main part of your presentation :
1. Sequencing your ideas2. Signaling where you are3. Link ideas, sections; making transitions

Make some notes
Body 1. Sequence your ideas
Here are a few possibilities for organizing your ideas:
• chronologically• from general to specific• from known to unknown • from accepted to controversial• from a problem to a solution
![Page 18: Workplace Communications - Making a presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f089041a28abeb138b4615/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Make some notes
Body 2. Signposting where you are
Imagine you are driving along a road that you do
not know – signs will guide you to find your way.
This is the same for people listening to a
presentation: they need signals to guide them so
that it is easy to follow the presentation.

![Page 31: Workplace Communications - Making a presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f089041a28abeb138b4615/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
4Practise!
Since your presentation will only be about 5-10 minutes long, it will be easy to practise your presentation:
• Close the door and speak loudly! Imagine you are in front of an audience.
• Time your presentation!
Practising in front of a partner is even better!
![Page 32: Workplace Communications - Making a presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f089041a28abeb138b4615/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
4Practise!
Don't read your presentation. You can use short notes, but reading a presentation is unnatural; also, it makes it very difficult for your audience to follow.
Don't try to cover too much material. Remember you only have 5-10 minutes.
Important Don’ts
![Page 33: Workplace Communications - Making a presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58f089041a28abeb138b4615/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
4Practice!
Important Do’s
Be organized!The more organized and focused your presentation is, the more relaxed you'll feel.
Breathe! (It helps you relax.)
Speak clearly, slowly and at an appropriate level for your audience.
Use vocabulary that is appropriate for your audience.

Your instructor and classmates look forward to listening to your presentation during the last virtual class.
