Presentation Basics
Presentation Basice 
Know your content inside and out: 
• Practice delivering your presentatoin this way you will not be so dependent on your notes and/or slides 
• Allows you to speak freely and puts your audience at ease 
• Allows you to look at your audience and engage them 
• Makes you the presenter less nervous, less anxious and less fumbling with papers 
Ensure visual presentation compliments speaking: 
• Gives you time to talk and your audience to take-in content (tables, comics, graphics, etc) 
• Try not to be text heavy, do not put every word in the presentation (6 by 6 rule) 
• Be generous with visuals, a picture speaks a thousand words 
Use narrative as framework/foundation: 
• A story will have sticking power, ex. “When I was 6 I lost my first tooth” vs. “Today we will be talking about oral 
health” 
Use humour tactfully, but don’t shy away from it: 
• Delivery/timing is key 
• Content is key, don’t tell a joke at inappropriate times 
• Humour breaks up content and makes it easier for the audience to digest 
Know logistics of the presentation and audience: 
• Determine if appropriate to have questions throughout the presentation or at the end 
• Who is the audience – age, gender, etc – try to tailor your presentation to the audience 
• Is the audience there because they have to be or want to be? 
• What are the expected outcomes?

Editor's Notes

  1. avoid loud, garish colors dark text on light background is best Avoid color-blind combinations: Red and green Blue and yellow
  2. Use pictures wisely Keep slides SIMPLE! Too many pictures makes saving difficult 1 or 2 pictures/slide if appropriate
  3. Again, keep slides simple! Apply one Slide Transition style and one Animation Scheme to ALL slides. Don’t change between styles- a single style makes a presentation look unified. “Busy” presentations divert audience attention from content.
  4.

What are the expected outcomes?
  11. Know your content inside and out: Practice delivering your presentatoin this way you will not be so dependent on your notes and/or slides Allows you to speak freely and puts your audience at ease Allows you to look at your audience and engage them Makes you the presenter less nervous, less anxious and less fumbling with papers Ensure visual presentation compliments speaking: Gives you time to talk and your audience to take-in content (tables, comics, graphics, etc) Try not to be text heavy, do not put every word in the presentation (6 by 6 rule) Be generous with visuals, a picture speaks a thousand words Use narrative as framework/foundation: A story will have sticking power, ex. “When I was 6 I lost my first tooth” vs. “Today we will be talking about oral health” Use humour tactfully, but don’t shy away from it: Delivery/timing is key Content is key, don’t tell a joke at inappropriate times Humour breaks up content and makes it easier for the audience to digest Know logistics of the presentation and audience: Determine if appropriate to have questions throughout the presentation or at the end Who is the audience – age, gender, etc – try to tailor your presentation to the audience Is the audience there because they have to be or want to be?
