Objective:
Visual aids are an essential part of the speech delivery process. This is how you communicate and share the visuals and ideas your audience needs to hear and respond to. Remember, the goal of the visual aid is NOT to retype your speech outline. The goal of the visual aid is to provide concrete visual reminders or representations of what the speaker is presenting. There are a lot of different considerations about creating visual aids–what images to use, how much text to use, etc. This discussion provides a place to crowdsource some ideas and remind each other how to build our visual aids best!
Research:
Take some time and research how to create visual aids for speeches. It is essential to include the note that this is for speech visual aids–specifically presentation slides. You can also research slide decks for presentations, as that will come up with different responses.
Respond:
Now that you have researched visual aids, make a list five to 10 reminders on creating good visual aids. You can even set it up similar to this Twitter thread.
Seriously, read the thread. It’s good.
Be sure to include an APA citation for your source material–we do not need any plagiarism on here!
