Presenting like a leader, by: Pierre El-Hnoud
This presentation discusses how to structure and deliver effective presentations. It begins by distinguishing between formal presentations and casual pitches. The presenter then outlines how to structure a presentation using the "pyramid principle" of starting broad and funneling into specific facts and details. Key recommendations for writing a presentation include defining the purpose and goal, researching the topic thoroughly, and following the "6x6 rule" of 6 words per line and 6 lines per slide. The presentation also provides tips for using effective body language, vocal variety, concluding powerfully and handling questions with confidence.
Communicative Style (Casual style)
This document outlines the objectives, expectations, and content of a lesson on casual style and casual conversations. The lesson aims to identify features of casual dialogue, appropriate communication styles for casual situations, and the importance of using the right style. Students will craft and perform casual dialogues in groups between teenagers and parents or peers, and individually analyze the differences between the two dialogues.
Conversational writing style
Conversational style breaks some grammatical rules to seem more like natural speech and build rapport with readers. It uses shorter sentences, questions, contractions and informal language to engage readers. Writers should study examples, edit out unnecessary words, and replace formal language with informal discourse markers to make their writing feel like a discussion. This style increases readership by creating connections and making the content more fun and accessible.
Communicative Style (Consultative Style)
This document discusses the consultative style of communication, which involves a more informal dialogue where speakers do not plan out what they will say and use shorter, more spontaneous sentences. It provides examples of situations that typically use consultative style, such as business transactions, doctor-patient conversations, student-teacher conversations, expert-apprentice discussions, and group discussions. An activity is proposed where groups create sample dialogues modeling these different examples of consultative communication.
