4. Where Did That name Come From?
• This is an exercise that will make you a better
storyteller on stage. Pick an item that is
present around you like stapler, notebook,
etc. and tell a story about how it got its
name. The idea here is not to be accurate, so
by all means, make something up; this is just
to make in the habit of finding and
developing interesting stories from anything.

5. What is an Oral Presentation?
• An oral presentation is generally a speech or vocal
performance, occasionally accompanied by visually
based presentations such as slideshows.
• An oral presentation is where you show your
knowledge on a particular subject. You might be
able to choose your topic or maybe you have been
given
something to research
and talk about to
audience.

Are brief reports on a focused topic delivered
to a group of listeners in order to impart
knowledge or to stimulate discussion.

careful planning.
