The topic of your presentation is your choice. You can make it fun (e.g., weighing pros and cons of one cat versus two cats in a household, dogs versus goldfish as pets, training for a triathlon, comedy versus opera for leisure, promoting a favorite vacation destination, etc.), professionally focused (e.g., presenting a departmental staffing report, recruitment plan for inclusive hiring, etc.), health focused (e.g., establishing an organization as LGBTQ friendly, interacting with someone from a particular culture in a health/wellness visit, strategic planning, etc.), or educationally focused (e.g., methods to study for exams, organizing study time, reducing test anxiety, etc.).
Your presentation should be 5-10 minutes.
You may use any design or template as well as visuals in your presentation software, but remember these will need to be relevant, copyright free, and appropriate to a diverse audience. All images must be cited. View the EC Library APA Tip Sheet: Multimedia for assistance.
Focus on the 3 steps for a presentation: 1) Tell the audience what you are going to tell them, 2) Tell them, and then 3) Tell them what you told them. Note that your introduction should highlight what will be covered, while the closing should provide an overview of your key points and any “action” steps you may want to persuade them to take.
You will need to submit the written slides with the oral voice over. You can do both in PowerPoint or you can use another program to record your oral presentation.
Take time to engage in the writing process. Leave time to revise and to rehearse your voice-over before you record.
Your presentation, at a minimum, should include the following:
Title slide (with name of presentation, your name, credentials, and date).
Intro/agenda/overview slide that describes what you are going to present and who your intended audience is.
Content slides (include a sufficient number to capture all your content but stay within the 5- to 10-minute timeframe).
Conclusion slide that summarizes your presentation and key points.
Reference slide if you have information that needed to be cited.
